I have a question.My friend started about 6 weeks
ago training with me for our first LD.This horse is a large quarter ,possible
quarter cross,it is more built like a standard-bred.He is between 12-14 years
old.We put his new heart-rate monitor on him and did 10 miles the other day.He
could not get the heart-rate above 90 without really flying.To get it to 150
required cantering up a steep hill and we had been climbing for quite
a while as it was !This horse has not had time to be in really good
shape.Like I said he is pretty large and I was wondering if that may have
something to do with it.The only goal for this horse is 25/30 milers.He also has
an incredible calm mind.He is a police horse and has done quite a few sitcoms
and movies, can this be part of it ?
Our goal is the Norco ride and I look forward
to meeting some of you.I am sure you will know who we are, he will be on the
quarter and me on pony.What a site !! :)
