I have found that the fastest easiest way to get my horse's heart rate above 200 is to ride him near a duck lurking in a pond or stream who will wait until you are right upon him to fly up in your horse's face!! The horse at this point will also choose this point in time to practice the dressage he has never learned (very elaborate sidepasses and a few pirouettes in there...perhaps he is white from a little Lipizzan blood???).... NOW TO BE SERIOUS...we have very short, steep hills here...and a few gradual climbs. The hills though are sandy...much harder work than solid ground. I know I can easily get the heart rate up to 200+ on these short steep hills however maintaining it is not feasible. So, should I do these hills several times in a row? Any suggestions or ideas? Sorry for the foo foo funny up top...I need to ride!!!! Maggie Mieske Mieske's Silver Lining 10601 S. Richards Rd. McBain, Michigan 49657 http://www.netonecom.net/~mmieske mmieske@netonecom.net
