Re: [RC] [RC] ? national championship ride, treatment, conditions, etc. - RDCARRIE

One thing I worry about with HRMs (*not* saying that you do this) is people 
using them like tachometers in a vehicle, and relying on them to the exclusion 
of reading and knowing their horse.  As you correctly point out, they are a 
tool, and as such provide information that we can use, along with other info we 
glean from our observations of our horse, to make decisions about how to manage 
our mount.  But if someone simply relies on the HRM and figures that since the 
horse is working within its normal HR, everything must be fine, that's when 
problems can arise.  Just my thoughts...
