Re: RC: Working heart rates and recoveries

[EnduranceMorgan@aol.com]

Suzanne,
Terrific! Another Morgan rider in the SF Bay area. I have two Morgans I use 
for endurance. Yes, they can run higher heart rates than Arabs. My 9 yr.old, 
Wichita, runs 10-20 bpm higher than my 17 yr. old, Sonny. Sonny usually runs 
the same as Arabs, except uphill - harder work. He takes 5-10 minutes to 
reach criteria at vet checks. Wichita comes down very quickly -1-5 minutes. 
Doing a good working trot or canter uphill, both top out over 200 bmp. A 
little stress is a good thing. Just don't over do it. Go for it and enjoy!
