RE: [RC] pulse - Alison FarrinWould just have to caution that you are getting down to the point where just the base excitement level can shoot a pulse up over your criteria. Both my competition horses have true resting pulses of 28. They vet in pre ride 99% of the time at 40 to 44. If you take his buddy away, Ceders will jump over 50. When I check my HR as we are walking to the out timer during the ride (with me in the saddle) he's almost always 60+. He is at 44 moments before, standing and eating his hay prior to me getting back in the saddle. His pulse goes up some just knowing we are going to go again. FWIW, these are both Arabs. Alison A.

I also believe the criteria has to be adjusted for conditions and that decision should be made by the vets. No one pulse criteria will work in all conditions. Clearly we need criteria that are as fair as possible to horses like your. What I would like to see is some good data in this area. Have been in sport long enough to remember when people objected to using 64 rather than 72 at most rides. In retrospect that change was a good one. Another possibility to consider would be a lower pulse criteria at the end of the check. Do you know what you horse's pulse is typically at the end of a hold period? Also what is his resting puse? Does it take much longer for you horse to reach 64 than for the typical Arab? Note that what I am trying to do is get ideas on the table for discussion at this stage, not propose specific changes. Once we have ideas on the table we can then develop the data necessary to find the good ideas and throw out the bad.

I ride and have only ridden quarter horses for endurance. I have had the top Quarter Horse award from AQHA four different times. I have over 5,000 + miles ALL on quarter horses and consider my horses very very fit. (I rode 1,150 miles last year all on the same quarter horse.) If you give me a pulse of 56 with any kind of heat or humidity, I am in most cases OUT! Again, I resent penalizing me for the over ridden Arabians.
