I was just talking about this overall attidude with a young rider. Why do others feel to be pressured into completing a ride? It's because of other riders watching, talking and gossiping about the pull.
So what if you have to pull or find out your horse is off a little when it cools down at a vet check. PULL IT and be happy about taking good care of your horse. I just did a RO yesterday at the Coso ride. Never made it to a vet check. I just turned around and called it a day. I know my horses, and this wasn't a day to make it work for 50 miles with that horse that day. If your going to do a lot of miles, guess what? Not all days can be good days, and that's a fact. Ride and have a good time.
