Re: [RC] Spike in Heart Rate - Dyane SmithActually, I'm in the process of trying to find an available fully-loaded backpacker to come walk through my pasture a few times. I have llamas and deer down. Bear, well harder to arrange--at least hard to arrange temporary stays, but I'm going to guess it will be all right since one did visit the neighbors trash cans and the horses did not indicate concern when I saw them the following morning.j Dyane ----- Original Message ----- From: "Karen Sullivan" <greymare56@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <kramspott@xxxxxxxxxxx>; <rides2far@xxxxxxxx> Cc: <ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, May 19, 2004 12:49 PM Subject: Re: [RC] Spike in Heart Rate ----- Original Message ----- From: <rides2far@xxxxxxxx> For my horse there's 2 possibilities: A deer B: loss of contact on electrodes. If it's deer you might want to ride by them often and hope for a training effect. :-) Angie *last weekend my friend who was riding with a heart monitor saw a huge jump when they happened across some bears..... My horse had the same reaction to a bunch of backpackers hiking out....despite one of them giving her carrots, she needs more backpacker work..... ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the Internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!

Taking the clock out of the equation makes it another sport altogether. The challenge is how to keep the sport what it is while honing our skills (both as riders and as those in control roles) in detecting where "the edge" is for each horse so that we don't cross it. ~ Heidi Smith ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
