As I understand the AERC rules, once a horse has been declared to be
'finished' by the vet staff, it can receive treatment as needed. This allows
such things as a liniment or mineral ice brace to the legs, antibiotics for
wounds, and so on, that are not allowed either prior to or during a ride. Of
course, one would hope that a horse in serious trouble would give some
indication to the vets and not receive a completion, anyway. Technically, the
horse that colics for whatever reason after passing a post-ride exam has
successfully completed the ride.
