A question for all of you with HRMs.

Does allowing a horse to eat (grass hay) after a 25m CTR ride keep the heart rate elevated? I don't mean extremely elevated, but this horse started with a 44 pulse and after 25 fairly easy miles his pulse was 56 1/2 hr after completion. (He was 48bpm at the half way point) He walked in the last mile and the day was cool. A more experienced rider said that next time, don't let him have any hay, eating keeps the heart rate up.
