I totally agree.  I remember a story Maryben told me early on
(late '70s) about how a vet (if I remember right, at Tevis) told
a rider he would let her go if she would walk the horse the rest
of the way.  I believe this was from the last check.  She got out 
of sight, galloped the horse in, and it died.  

I am actually surprised any endurance vets are still falling for
the "let the horse walk in" line.
