[RC] Recovery Observation - Ridecamp Guest

Please Reply to: kim kimfue@xxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
==========================================

If I were to evaluate the recoveries using the same criteria I use to evaluate 
my horses (recovery under 6 minutes working under capabiities,between 6-12 
minutes within capabilities and over 12 minutes over capabilities) it looks 
like two horses  mtabolically (using only HR as an indicator) could have gone 
faster, several were ridden within their optimum capabilities and three were 
ridden over their capabilities (again only using HR as an indicator and not be 
judgemental or negative).  Of course who knows what is the normal perameter for 
all the horses listed below.
  Of course, I don't know how much external help was needed to recover 
meaniang crew using artificial means to cool the horses.  When I use this 
parameter I try to use it with the horse recovering on its own without water or 
ice.  But it confirms what has been reported by several experienced racers that 
these riders ride on the edge and know how far they can push their horses.  But 
one thing is for certain they all recovered within the guidelines and rules set 
forth by FEI so I guess the actual recovery time is not of importance except 
for speculative thinking and discussion.
