My first memory of what we call the CRI today was the "Ridgeway Trot." 
In fact some of the old CTR old-timers down her in FL still call it 
that. I first heard of it in about 1989 or 90.

You can use modifications of it on your horse at any time during a ride, 
even from the saddle. What you are looking for is rapid recovery after 
the succession of exercise. It works very well with a HRM.  If you come 
to a walk from a trot or gallop the pulse should drop rapidly to say 
about 90. If you drop to a trot from a canter it should drop to the 
normal trotting rate quickly. What quickly means might take some 
expermentation, but I like to see it in a minute or two. If it doesn't 
it means the horse is not recovering and maybe you should back off a bit.
