I think a lot of us agree that this list is best used for education and
sharing of ideas towards the betterment of our sport -- what ever helps the
horses.
This list has definately been more stimulating the past two weeks with all
the talk of heart rates and such than it has been in months. Susan's
ability to talk to the general population in easy to understand terms and
her unselfish willingness to share her hard earned knowledge has been so
welcome to this list. The list has gotten so humdrum with all the
non-productive chatter that I've hardly spent much time opening the posts,
this recent exchange is more what the list was when we first subscribed and
found it helpful and stimulating. The list has also been greatly enriched
by the recent responses by Bob Morris and Tom Ivers, some of you others who
were posting on the list when we joined and that have been quiet for months
through the idle chatter probably join us in thanking them also.
