Or a longer lead the outrider had him a short leash so to speak. I agree the jockey really should have dismounted and taken the lead himself.
Horses can be very stubborn. I remember once at my dad's house during a raging snow storm his horse and pony didn't come back top the barn. I grabbed 2 leads and went out to look for them and found both of them under some pine trees with about 2 inches of snow on them. Hooked the horse up and the pony just followed along. The only thing I could ever figure out since they were quite a distance off from the barn was they decided to shelter down under the pine trees.
