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
