Endurance.Net Ridecamp Archives

Hey Texas Pete!!  Roger Rittenhouse of VMAX is one the
pioneers of the use of heartrate monitors with horses.
VMAX is listed in the Endurance.net advertisers.  I'm
sure many people on this list also highly recommend
VMAX.  My wife and I just recently started riding and
training with them.  It's great to see the working
ranges of our horses.  If something doesn't seem
right, then the HRM will be a great tool in possibly
detecting it or catching it early.  For the longest
time I would not use one.  But listening to people
like Roger R. and Stagg Newman(who I consider my
mentor towards 1-day 100s) talk about the benefits of
a HRM, then I decided to try it.

I can tell you after sleeping in a tent, then in my truck, then in the back
of a trailer, then in a gneck trailer w/no LQ, and now in the new-to-me LQ
one, you don't sleep any better the night before in nicer digs - you're
just more comfortable while you're lying there obsessing :)
