Yes Paul's Paso can't quite keep up with us on the big, longer hills but he can "fly" past us on the downhill. Gaited horses can fly down hills when we have to walk or slow trot. So its all a wash.

I would agree.  As my paso gets more fit, his CRI gets better and
better.  AND I do the same with friends on Arabs on conditioning rides.
  My guy can't do the hills quite as well, but his heart rate is spot on
with the arabs with  the same conditioning.
