[RC] Weight - Bruce Weary DCOkay, this is starting to make more sense to me. But how's come when my kids or my wife ride my horses (let's take Heisman, my decade horse, for example) his working pulse rate was 30% lower than when I was on him, and his recoveries were 2-5 minutes shorter? (And I don't ride like a pig in a sack, so I don't think it's my equitation) These are significant numbers to me. I don't think they represent that my extra 100 pounds makes "a little difference but not much," as you put it. If his heart rate is running 30% higher all day long, and his recoveries are longer, I'm at a disadvantage both in how much horse I can use, and in my clock time on the trail. Is there some physics or statistics that can help me with this? I want to do the best by my horse, but be competitve when I can, as well.
