I am very new to the sport, in
fact I am planning to do my first ride in April, maybe. In light of all
this talk I had a question of my own, being new I was unsure and I am trying to
make this a safe experience. My kids would never talk to me again if I
killed one of the family pets.
Is it OK for the horse to wear a heart monitor
durring the race? Also, Iplan on the Chicken Chase to be our first
ride ( 25 ) how is this ride, what can I expect? How many VC for the
25 mile ride?
Also I would like to say as I said earlier in the
week. Comming from equine sports that are a lot less humane then this one
and have a LOT more equine deaths then 8 a year, I have to say, I am impressed
with the care you give to these horses legs after a ride, I have learned a
lot just reading these messages. I think its great that there is such care
in this sport for the animal. I have been observing ride camp for a week
now and there has been no talk on the care of the rider just our equine
friends. That is great.
