This is exactly what happens sometimes and perhaps its protection rather
than being a baby. I have also gone just a 1/4 mile and then gotten off and
walked home. Also, sometimes while out riding, I'll get off and walk awhile
if the horse seems overly excited or its a windy day. Can't do that on a
CTR, but in Endurance it would be OK. So...
