Re: [RC] What if your horse hates to condition? - Merry WicklundI dont think you NEED to condition the same way you ride a ride. In fact, I dont think you would want to. You should be able to tell how well conditioned he is by taking his p&r. The point being that you need to work him hard enough to get his heart rate up and know how long he takes to come down. That, more than anything should tell you how well conditioned he is. I learned that from working out at the gym and riding mountain bikes. We ALWAYS check heart rate and respiration and gut sounds after a conditioning ride. Depending on the workout and how long it takes to come down to normal tells us what we need to do on the next ride. You should not increase pace and distance at the same time.
