<< Just remember that those are generalizations tho - I thought the same

before I realized I would have to be running the pants off of Embers to
some of the rates mentioned in the booklet. He can trot _wide-open_ at 105
or less and canter all day at 120 or less - to hit the rates they talk in
the book I'd have to run him wide-open for I don't know how long which I'm
not inclined to do :-). >>

Dead on! I've had horses that I could not seriously stress (high HRs) on the
treadmill. Aggravating as hell, but the sign of a very fit horse.
