[RC] 30 minute rule - pulsing down - Nikki McCormack<This is also why you can take an unconditioned Arab out with loads of potential and start running right up front--only to break him down because his musculoskeletal system never got the chance to get in shape. He should have had the same conditioning, but the non-Arab HAD to get it so that he could get into good cardiovascular shape, too. This is why some of those good-recovering non-Arabs are also great high-mileage horses...> I hate to ask this now, when I am quite a way behind due to the quantity of posts, but doesn't this point out why the new 30 minute rule won't work? An Arabian can pulse down well within 30 minutes, but that does not necessarily mean he/she is fit and not overriden. By the time the horse is having trouble pulsing down, the damage is already done and the rule change has not helped the horse at all.
