Re: [RC] Cardiovascular Conditioning - heidiPlease Reply to: Kim kim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================This past weekend I was at a ride and ended up getting pulled due to my horse coming up lame. Anyways, the vets were doing CRI's on the horses and my horse has terrible CRI's (he's not an Arab). I was told by the vet when I condition I need to do more cardiovascular conditioning. Basically what does this mean? Do I need to do more trotting/cantering on hills, etc. At the lunch stop (this is where I was pulled) I came in, in 11th place. From the 1st vet check to lunch we basically took it easy, some walking, and a good pace trot. Because my horse is not an Arab she suggested I pull him out of pasture and do a CRI on him from resting and check it. THanks Kim Are you sure this is really cardiovascular, or could it have been a response to the impending lameness? Often a CRI will pick up problems such as pain before the horse manifests them in actual lameness...
