Re: RC: Long holds, Heart Rate, tying up, electrolytes

Experience tells me that an above normal for a particular horse means
something is wrong..... could been metabolic, could been pain, but
something is definitely wrong. (other than his buddy leaving him). 100%

Train and compete with a HRM every time and you KNOW what is normal... I
never leave home without one....
