I can tell when my horse is a little off, but then again I'm not in a hurry to get anywhere. Nor am I pushing my horse at the top extreme of performance.

In hindsight, there's no question she should have pulled up. But I'm not going to say that she clearly knew something was wrong enough to pull up, as opposed to a sting or a cast shoe.

IMO, I don't care how little or how much a horse is acting off. If you've been riding a sound horse, and it suddenly goes lame, you get off IMMEDIATELY and check to see what is wrong. You don't first see if he can work it out. And that horse was obviously more then a little off.
