Strapping Guidance
"Strapping" is the term used to describe the process where the horse is cooled down after completing loops, in order to reduce their heart rate to under 64 beats per minute. This is the maximum heart rate that a horse can have in Endurance and CTR as part of the vetting criteria to qualify for that loop or at completion of the ride.Please click on the button below to see the Strapping Guidance.
