Re: [RC] CRI question - Nancy Sturm

So, when my friend's horse had an exit CRI of 36/36, there was a reason she was smiling?  And when my TWH had an exit CRI of 48/48 that was not so bad either?

As this discussion goes on we should also consider the implications of a 60/52-54 cri.  When it is done on entrance to a vet check, I often see this  with what I consider a fit horse.
 
I personally think (with no data or specific knowledge) that an exit CRI is more likely to give useful data.  My reasoning is:  1. At the end of a vet check you should see a low initial pulse say in the 44-48 range.  If not, look extra hard at the horse.  2. even if the pulse goes up 4-8 bpm no big deal, but if it goes up even more look very closely. at the horse.
 
Comments?  (Please do not take my comments as something to act upon- I'm trying to get opinions from people who know something here.)
