I believe once you have gotten your final exam and surrendered your
ride card the code wouldn’t be changed.

I think the stipulation "an hour or two later" comes into
play too. A horse requiring treatment within an hour of completion
receives the pull code of M. The horse requiring treatment after an
hour from completion still completes. So, if a rider ROs at a vet check then presents the horse to the vet
"an hour or two later", shouldn't the pull code remain RO?
Conversely, if the rider presents within the hour after receiving the RO, the
pull code would be changed from RO to M (not RO-M).
If the intent of the rider was to stop for personal reasons that
had nothing to do with the horse and there is nothing wrong with the
horse, the RO should stand. If the rider grows concerned for the horse
later but the horse doesn't require treatment, the RO should stand. Why
would you change a RO to a RO-M? Unless something happens within a hour of the rider stopping and the horse requires
treatment, the RO should stand.
