That would be RO-M or RO-L, depending on the reason you felt she wasn't quite herself.  Did you feel that she wasn't moving quite the way she should be, as in her gait wasn't quite right?  In that case, it should have been RO-L.  If you felt that she wasn't feeling quite herself, as in not eating well, perhaps feeling a little sluggish, etc., it would be RO-M.  The plain RO is *only* if there's something wrong with you, or you have a personal reason for not continuing that has nothing to do with your horse.

"The RO is to be used only if the rider cannot continue or elects
not to continue due to their own illness, injury or personal
circumstances. If a rider is electing not to continue, the horse
must still be examined by the ride vet (all horses entered in AERC
sanctioned rides are to be examined by a control vet regardless if
the rider is electing not to continue) and the horse must be
deemed fit to continue in order to use this code."

I have pulled my horse twice, after she was examined and the vet said she
was "Fit to Continue", but I didn't feel she was fit (she was just "off" and
not quite herself).  I pulled her, and there was nothing wrong with
me...what's that called?  I call it Rider Option.
