RE: [RC] HRM's and Increasing Intensity - heidiIs this an exception? I was always under the impression that the HR will be elevated or it will spike abnormally if a horse is in pain. Often the injury is done before there is much pain--it can take several hours or longer before there is enough pain to bother the HR. And some horses are very stoic, and just aren't "stressed" that much by the pain, so don't show much of a rise at all. I've ridden a couple like that...
