A HM certainly helps but before they came out, we
conditioned without one. I started in 1970 and finally got one in
1992. How did I know what the horse was doing conditioning wise? I
kept records and took the pulse as soon as we were done, and then again in 10
min. I could even do it in a couple of minutes to see how fast the horse
was coming down. So where there is a will, there is a way.
