    sounds like you would log the majority of it as walking. Any lifting or such you can add as strength training avg the weight you were lifting and get a rough estimate of how many reps you would have done...That is how I would handle that...sounds like you were a busy gal!

    They do have an option for "Horse Grooming" in here. I usually just use that for any grooming and groundwork I do with my horses :)

    I actually wore my HRM for grooming and it comes to about 130-150 per half hour. This didn't include standing for braiding or clipping, just the basic brushing, mane and tail clean up and feet. My mare is 16.2 and a big warm blood so there is alot of horse to cover.
    By the way--lunging and walking burns even less---but forward trot work burns a TON!!!
