Heidi and others on line:

 

Let me ask a question; you take your horse to the vet and he gets the pulse, let's say 44. At the same time take your own pulse. Trot the horse out and back and after a minute take the pulse once more. You expect the horse to be the same or lower! But check your own pulse and see what it has done! Do you think your own pulse has returned to normal or lower? No excuses now just try it.

 

Another test is, if you have a human heart rate meter. Sit still and get a real resting heart rate. Then after the heart is stabilized, raise one hand fully above your head and read the pulse rate. Lower the arm to normal position and see how long it takes your heart to return to normal.

 

Then think about it.

 

Heidi asks <<<Shouldn't the second number be lower and if it's not, does that indicate something?>>> Yes it indicates something, the horse has done some work!

Subject: [RC] CRI question

Ok, someone tried explaining this to me once, but I'm not sure exactly how this works with the numbers.  I remember at Renegade Ash had a great CRI, but can't remember the numbers, this time at the Dunes, he was 40/40.  Shouldn't the second number be lower and if it's not, does that indicate something?

 

thanks - heidi and Ash of the 3' mane
