Hot weather syndrome

["John & Sue Greenall" <greenall@vermontel.net>]

CTR in the Northeast do not use a CRI, however, we do use a 
metabolic check and jog out.  We also monitor the pulse very 
closely and on this particular ride most horses had a pulse of 48 or 
lower which they had to meet in 10 minutes. Interesting point as to 
whether or not we would have picked up the horses in trouble at 
that point and I doubt it.  At endurance rides, many times horses 
with all A's at the previous check have problems when you add 
more miles.  The hard part here is why does this happen?
