Re: [RC] Folks who don't use HRM's(Vicki A.) - Vicki Austin

Nice to know there are others out there like King.  He
makes me laugh most of the time. People think I am
nuts to ride him.  Bucking down hill is his
speciality!!   I finnaly got a crupper for fear my
saddle would slide down over his head.

Like Vicki's horse, mine too is "slow" going away
from home. When we turn
his nose toward home he suddenly wakes up and it
gets difficult to get him
to slow down for safety! Been doing it long enough
now I have just
considered it good training. Take our time going
away (get the LSD part) and
fly home. Seems to work well with my guy. My most
recent training ride after
about 12 miles ran into a group of riders heading
for a local mountain top.
Tagged along (the slow agonizing trail riding walk)
and climbed straight up
to the top which was about 3 more miles. Turned
around and started heading
down and Sawyer got hyped and would even do some
bucking trying to come down
the mountain. When we got to the road at the base of
the mountain I excused
myself from the group as we had a long ways to go to
get home before dark.
Sawyer turned it on and the slowest we went was his
fast trot! We ended up
doing about 28 miles that day. His anxiousness to
get back home has been a
great conditioning tool!

Like Ed Hauser, I use the HRM at the vet check only.
Has been quite helpful
there to speed up our in/out times. I too am usually
crewless (some would
say clueless) and every little thing helps.
