Re: [RC] Excitement affecting horse's heart rate - Chris Paus

Not all CTR organizations require the horses to stand in a line.  MOTDRA allows you to let your horse eat or drink. You can sponge him too.

For those of you who are looking for "tricks", methods or whatever you want to call it, ask the CTR riders on the list!  In CTR (NATRC, at least, that's all I've done) you get 10 minutes to hopefully get the pulse down to 48, while the horses are all required to stand still in a line, after either walking up a hill or trotting into the P&R - and typically the horse is not allowed to drink first.  Some feed, some don't (some get upset if someone else feeds), some sing, some put wet cloths over the horses ears, some pet certain areas, some don't touch the horse at all.
