I am new at this, I am usually working on the feet and not sitting in
the saddle. The 10 minute time is the time they wait before tacking the
horses pulse and respiration. In competitive rides this is when you can have
your horse pulled from the race for a high rate or gain points for low
p/r's. This is my first time on the NET and if I am doing this wrong please
let me know.
