I'm sure Dixie won't mind when it's 100 degrees outside. Sounds like a lovely ride!in2paintshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15721328264615241612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773599297895528113.post-83172503612880479442011-12-12T18:53:11.548-08:002011-12-12T18:53:11.548-08:00We used to use a hrm back in the old days when Dav...We used to use a hrm back in the old days when David was a serious eventer. He had a great horse who would get inverted, so we did a lot of conditioning work with a hrm. That's the only time we've used one, and the only horse we felt needed one.Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13944121836337072178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773599297895528113.post-55856242861849809992011-12-12T14:41:52.092-08:002011-12-12T14:41:52.092-08:00I'd love to have a HRM for particularly strenu...I'd love to have a HRM for particularly strenuous rides....But like you, I go off their breathing and that seems to work just fine. <br />Still.It sounds like a fun gadget!Leeshhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08504626914889252270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773599297895528113.post-24198168254583355732011-12-12T03:29:10.457-08:002011-12-12T03:29:10.457-08:00Oh!

Find it distracting having to fiddle with it when it slips out of contact and gives weird readings. What I do love is my handheld for checking post ride pulse, as it assures me I'm not over-riding. I'll probably put mine back into use when we get up to twenty miles as we haven't gone that far yet and I'll want to know she is doing alright. Once they are fit? Eh! Just ride.All Who Wanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15811193190492037859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773599297895528113.post-17084735495941026422011-12-12T03:26:05.670-08:002011-12-12T03:26:05.670-08:00Whoa!

I have one but I only used it twice and haven't touched it in two years. I get asked if I use one ALL the time and start to feel guilty that I don't. But like you, I had a successful time without it and feel that I know my horses pretty well. I'm pretty sure my Garmin I always wear could even do it but...I'm just into it. <br /><br />Dixie sounds fun to ride, her gaits must be a blast! The Foxtrotter I briefly owned would not get into gait for all the tea in China sometimes but when he did it was a blast!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01344662726517478751noreply@blogger.com
