BUT, when Tina got Embers from me, in April, I had been riding him very
little..ok, hardly at all....She got the BC on him in Nov, and was the
only one riding him at the time for all that time.   

We compared HR's a lot, but much of it was from what I knew to be 
"normal" for him with me on board, vs. what was "normal" for him with her
on board.  

It would be nice if I could find someone heavier than me that could ride
balanced that would condition for me...then I could just get on and
go....Nah. that would take all the fun out of it, or would it?:-)



Take care
