I always wonder about the person who is willing to
call another an idiot!!! There are different ways to do things. What
is the best thing to do is whatever works best for you and your horse.
That said, I have used HRM's and I have also not used HRMs. They are a fun
tool to use but certainly not necessary. What is necessary is simply to
get one's horse in shape for whatever job one is asking it to do.
