deliberation I have come to the conclusion that you people have kept
your helmets on so long that your brains have overheated too long. If
you keep dropping pulse rates lower than they are now you will have no
racing. Lets move them back up to 72 and let them run!"
Does this guy know that they run a 56 pulse in a 20 minute
recovery time in some FEI venues? And with 7-8 hour hundred mile times.
Just how much faster would he like to "let them run?"
What an incredibly enlightened thing for a vet to say. I say let's
get rid of those silly little helmets, seat belts and air bags, too.
And let's bring back asbestos. It's still a perfectly good building
material. I'll have to excuse myself now. I have to go run with
scissors. Dr Q
