Re: [RC] re: Endpoint of an endurance ride - Heidi SmithProbably won't matter. On a cold ride the pulse should be just about down when you get in. In any case unless you are cooking with gas coming it - the pulse should be down within 10 minutes or so and if the horse goes lame in that period, I question if he was fit to continue or not. Bingo. The rules from what I can see don't specify you need to have your pulse down before you trot out. Was that the intention - if it was it should say so. To say so would be redundant. If his pulse isn't down at the same time that he is capable of trotting, he IS NOT FIT TO CONTINUE, period!
