"In fact they were riding quite close to two
of our US riders and never exceeded 10 mph on any loop. I looked
at their recovery times and they were quite average with the rest of
the field. We must have seen these horses in the crewing area but
it was never obvious that any horse looked in trouble. At hold three
and four the horses had to pass an exit exam, which these horses
did."
It has also been mentioned that the horse's pulse rates and CRI's did not
indicate distress. Perhaps the endurance communinty needs to find better
ways of evaluating the horses at the vet checks durning the ride.
What other parameters and what other technology could we be using?
Happy Trails,
