Assess Recovery During Interval Training horses heart rate isn’t restored to the desired recovery target within the rest period, it helps the trainer know if the program is too hard or too long. This can help ensure against any injuries due to over work or over training.

Gauge Intensity During Cross Training Many owners and trainers now incorporate swimming in their horse’s exercise program to keep joints moving, muscles toned, and the cardiovascular and respiratory systems in condition. The Waterproof T51H/T52H Polar transmitters will transmit heart rate in water and let you know how hard the horse is working during swimming sessions.

Audit Training Sessions Many owners and trainers don’t do their own riding and driving. With the Polar HHRM, you can record the horse’s training sessions into memory and check to see that the specific instructions relative to training intensity and time were followed after the the session is completed.

Increase Equine Expertise Whether you are the owner or trainer, the horse is your most important asset. Using a heart rate monitor increases your knowledge about each individual horse to improve its general health and training. Utilizing the most advanced technology on the market today helps you increase the value of your training expertise.

Training for equestrian sports A horse heart rate monitor allows you to determine the frequency, volume and intensity of training based on the individual fitness level of each horse, and the demands of each discipline.

Endurance HHRMs have long been a critical tool in these competitions. Pacing your horse is obviously one of the critical elements of these competitions, where you must pass veterinary checks along the way. The HHRM will help you prepare your horse, and then help you pace him during competition so you both finish safely and reach your goal.

Eventing A HHRM can help you prepare more effectively for all three events. Simulating the demands of each discipline and duplicatng those efforts during training will lead to a successful competition. The HHRM will tell you how your horse is being affected by the effort he is putting in, and allow you to make the decision to back him off, or push him a little harder. All while keeping him and you safe.

Jumping By paying attention to your horse’s heart rate, you can assess whether he is stressed when he approaches a jump, or if his fitness is causing him to make errors late in the competition. You can simulate the demands on your horse and see how it affects him during training.

Cross –Country Simulating a challenging course in training, and monitoring the heart rate and effort of your horse, can ensure you are both ready for competition. With the speed information available, it’s an invaluable tool that will ensure your horse is ready for the more challenging questions. Prepared and not over-trained or injured.

Dressage Endurance allows dressage horses to perform better while maintaining technical precision. It also minimizes injuries due to one-sided technical work. The HHRM can play a vital role in building and maintaining endurance.

Thoroughbred Training While Thoroughbreds typically run at or near max heart rate, the HHRM is a great tool for assessing their potential ability on the track. Matching heart rate in relation to speed and pace gives you a close look into the potential of the horse and can help you make decisions about a particular horse’s future training and racing. It’s also a valuable tool for gauging recovery, which is also a leading indicator of the fitness level and ultimately the performance of your horse. Gauging his resting heart rate will tell you whether he is prepare for the hard training that you have scheduled for him that day. And using it as a way to determine when to start the next interval will ensure that you get the most out of that workout, and also will go a long way to helping you avoid any overtraining injuries.

Harness/Driving Finding the right intensity levels for your horse is critical when training for harness racing or driving events. Pacing by speed and heart rate gives you the critical information to prepare your horse right and make decisions about training relative to your horse’s fitness level and recovery.
