I made exactly those points to her.  Unfortunately, I think she and her 
friend had already left for the ride by the time I replied.  We may 
think ride fees are high but they do cover a lot of services we hope we 
never need.  In addition to the legality of it, riding along side seems 
like an imposition on already overworked and underpaid ride personnel 
because, as you say, they aren't likely to turn their backs on someone 
who needs help.  It'll be interesting to see how it turns out.

What if the horse is lost? ..should management help them out, arrange her rescue, or provide vets to treat the horse?  It would be very hard for them to turn their back on someone. To me it's well worth the entry to have that support system out there ready to help out.
