Fwd: Re: [RC] RULES, RULES, RULES Was 30 minute rule - marshall BatesNote: forwarded message attached. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Cheap talk? Check out Yahoo! Messenger's low PC-to-Phone call rates. http://voice.yahoo.com --- Begin Message ---I apologize if some of you took offense at this post. I also ride non Arabs and haven't had problems pulsing down even at some of the toughest and hottest rides here in the southeast( and before anyone berates me most of them have been LDs but what the heck, I had to start somewhere) and my wife also rides mostly non Arabs with similar results at longer distances. I fully agree that proper conditioning is essential.From my experience of many years as a pulse takergenerally speaking Arabs have better recovery times. I would hate to see us lose a lot of entries from folks with a little longer recovery time because of a rule change that "might" be positive. Now another little tidbit for thought. Is the horse whose pulse drops to acceptable parameters in 29 minutes after being fawned over by a slew of crew people dumping 50 gallons of ice water on it in better condition than the horse the comes down in 32 minutes without all the help? Maybe we should outlaw anything other than the rider sponging the horse with ambient temperature water to see who is REALLY in condition. Take a deep breath and relax- this is sarcasm. Marsh the muleman"...2) Has anyone thought of the fact that dropping the pulse rate and times will virtually eliminate many breeds from competition? This proposal sounds to me virtually like an Arab only rule..."____________________________________________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
