RE: [RC] HRM's and Increasing Intensity - Kathy Ramspott

Is this an exception?  I was always under the impression that the HR will be
elevated or it will spike abnormally if a horse is in pain.

No, it gives you the HR unambiguously.  It doesn't tell you if you've
pushed the soft tissues past the limit (but they haven't started to hurt
yet), and it doesn't tell you how the horse FEELS, unless one of his
feelings is pain.

When Star tore her tendons we were on a 15 mile ride and she had on a
HRM. Her HRs were normal, even a tad lower than normal, but she suffered
a pretty major injury. Recoveries were normal. She was forward and
happy, as well...
