This observation is not relevent to your line of question but nonetheless an 
observation: In our horses that has been acclimatised in Malaysia for even a 
year or two from Australia{Australian summer in Queensland region can be hot 
+++,even hotter than Malaysia but humidity wise lower},the initial drop  of 
pulse rate can be fairly fast in the already acclimatised horses but after 
the initail drop will hang on at 55 to 60 at a longer time resulting  in a 
possible "vet out" by very well meaning but "uneducated" and suspecting 
foreign vets who preside at most of our CEI 3 star rides.Obviously to them 
this may be indicative of a potential metabolic crises and a very tired 
horse syndrome..With representation a common feature in most rides in the 
3rd and 4th phases nowadays,some combination of riders and horses get the 
unwarranted wrong end of the stick for being say at 55 bpm at 30 minutes 
recovery.Avery 'tired horse' indeed from the perspective of the visiting 
'expert'.
Certainly the  fall of the pulse here is not linear as one can see in 
temperate surrounding since a new basal equilbrium is being raised more so 
due to the humidity rather than heat.Not relevent to your discussion of 
course but just my observation on the follies of 'visiting experts'.
