RE: [RC] School the Mind; Condition the Legs (was: HRM's and Increasing Intensity) - Susan, Princess of PinkI'm really enjoying this discussion. I use a HR everytime on every horse. Of course I don't compare between the horses but with THAT horse at THAT speed on THAT trail. All very interesting.
Question: How do YOU know when the muscles/soft tissues are conditioned? I want to complete a 75 that has a lot of sand on it. I don't have access to sand. What can I do to adequately prepare for this ride?
ASSUMPTIONS: said horse already has a good base and is currently healthy Susan [Young], The Princess of Pink Semper Obliquo (Always aside) Glenndale Grace Farm, Ft Gibson, Oklahoma U.S.A. "Ride on! Rough-shod if need be, smooth-shod if that will do, but ride on! Ride on over all obstacles, and win the race!" - Charles Dickens (1812-1870)
