    Re: [RC] Heart rate at CTR - Ed and Wendy Hauser


    There is a saying: "You can build an endurance horse, but a CTR horse is born"  The scoring methods do favor horses with natural low heart rates.  Interval training can help a lot.  I dropped 8 BPM on the resting heart rate of my first CTR horse in 6 months of interval training.
     
    Differences between checks during the ride, and the pre-ride pulse can't be used either.  The competitors would just make sure that their horses were all excited at the pre ride vet in.
