I was wondering if anyone could give me information on a average target
heart rate.  I have a new horse and monitor and my new horse is pretty
high strung.  I have started endurance riding (3 25 milers) with three
different horses.  I think my new horse is going to be a great endurance
horse and want to know from experienced people what a good trotting heart
rate is and recovery time.  Any information on trouble signs etc.  I would
like to know at what heart rate do you back off and walk my horse is like
an energizer bunny and I think I need to know when to slow him down.  He
runs and paces all day in his pin even after long rides he comes back and
runs around like he is king.  He is great to ride but don't want to
override him (if that is possible..HA) I would also like any information
on good endurance equipment ie: saddles, pads.  I am thinking about buying
a new saddle.  I have a big horn endurance saddle with a horn and find
climbing hill it gets in the way.  Info on skito pads would be great.
Thanks a million.  Angela
