Hi, I will be riding my TWH soon. I did
notice her pulse goes up faster than the Arabs I have been riding and hence down
slower. BUT she is NOT in condition. That is just my initial
starting work. I wonder if this is just a characteristic of the
breed?? IF so, then is a higher pulse evaluated differently than in the
Arab?
