[RC] [RC] Pasos, sore backs - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Nicole z_arabs@xxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== Has anyone else found this, or found that a well-conditioned horse has a higher pulse when in gait? Considering that many horses will have a drop in their pulse when switching from trot to canter or vice versa, I wouldn't be at all surprised if gaited horses have a difference between trot and gaiting (one way or the other). One comment on the riding-position/sore back issue - there is an article at centeredriding.org that talks about how Centered Riding principles are universal and apply to all breeds/gaits. Thank you!! I didn't think to look there. I'll send the link along to my friend and maybe she will send it along to her mother. I really should just stay out of it, but I hate seeing these horses hurt like they do. (One solution has been that I don't ride with the friend when her mother is along. But that doesn't help the horses any.) ~Nicole ============================================================ There is no better way to see the world than from the back of a horse. ~ Teddy Roosevelt ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
