Trying to get back to basics and simplicity. Assuming #1
is to use common sense and listen to your horse.
In the endurance book I have it says, “… after a
10 minute rest…as a rule of thumb, if the heart rate reliabley returns to
60bpm or less it is safe to ask for slightly more intensity”
If using the above formula along with the “…..15
miles under 2 hours comfortably ready for a 50….” suggestion is
that a good basic ligament/tendon safe conditioning way to go for a first
season on a 4 year old?
No racing, just working towards getting a 50 done by second
or third season.
