No. Once the horse is pulled, it must not continue down the trail.  (The one
exception I experienced was at a vet check so far away and remote from camp
that DQ'd horses were to be led back - the same way they came in.  I refused
to do this, because the horse was DQ'd for lameness.  By the time the ride
manager went back to camp, hooked up a horse trailer and came back for me and
the horse, then returned to camp, about 12 hours had elapsed.  It was quite an
experience.  Not totally awful, but definitely tiring.)
