Heart rate gives you a measure of how your horse is coping with change so that you can modify the horse’s activity accordingly.

Ensure Proper Warm Up and Recovery

Monitoring heart rate ensures that your horse warms up properly before strenuous exercise. And when he needs a rest, you’ll know that too. This is helpful information for the recreational rider whoe horse may be in a stall all week with minimal activity.

Track Fitness Improvement

Improvements in your horse’s fitness can be detected by exercise and recovery heart rates. Increase in a horse’s fitness is associated with a reduction in heart rate at a given running speed and a more rapid decline in heart rate during recovery.

Measure Training Intensity
