Yes, our 1995 Castle Rock ride was cancelled in mid-afternoon when the
temperature reached 105 in the canyon and 115 on the ridges, with high
humidity (can't remember, but maybe 80%).  One horse had died and the head
vet felt it in the best interest to call halt.  This was on the coast of
California, hottest recorded temps in the history of our area, I believe.
