<< 1. Do you use LSD in your training program? Yes
If no, please explain why not and skip to question 6.

2. Give a brief description of how you use LSD as part of your training
program. I start horses in LSD and with beginning horses that is trying to
keep the HR below 150 regardless of the terrain or speed. After a few months
the LSD work is just done on the long week end ride and as the horse becomes
fit I add interval work in the LSD ride.

3. What is your definition of "long?" depend on the horse's level of
fitness. For a beginner: If during the week he is doing less 5 miles per
ride then a 10 mile week end ride is long. I would consider 15 - 40 miles a
long ride.

4. What is your definition of "slow?"Again depends on the fitness of the
horse and the HR determines the speed. An unfit horse can walk hilly terrain
at 5mph and have a HR of 150 a fit horse can canter at 10mph with a HR of
120. My slow is dertermined by HR.
