Horse Health, Fitness, Performance From the recreational horse owner to the equine professional, all have a vested interest in their horse’s health and welfare…..whether it’s the family pet or the filly favored to take the Triple Crown. As in humans, one of the best ways to gauge the health and fitness of your horse is by his heart rate.

A Polar Horse Heart Rate Monitor (HHRM) provides instantaneous and continuous feedback on your horse’s heart rate, letting you know how he is doing during exercise or recovery, and while at rest. The latest Polar HHRMs are accurate and reliable, simple to use and easy to put on your horse. In addition, there is no ‘hard wire’ connection between you and the horse transmitter, enabling it to be used in training or competition-both with and without a rider-or during leisurely rides.

Whether used recreationally or competitively, Polar HHRMs give you the opportunity to listen to your horse’s body. HHRM training can help you establish a well-rounded exercise or training program to keep your horse fit while minimizing the risk of injury.

Benefits of horse heart rate monitoring Although competitve equestrian sports are closely monitored by veterinarians, traditionally it has been difficult to determine the health status of the horse during general exercise or competition. Until now. Recreational owners, competitive riders and trainers alike have begun using Polar HHRMs to assist them with evaluating the health and performance of their horse.

Monitor Vital Signs for Safety Abnormal readings of your horse’s vital signs-namely resting, exercise and recovery heart rates-can alert you to immediate or impending problems such as injury, illness or fatigue.

 Evaluate Stress Response to Travel or Environmental Change When your horse is exposed to anything new-travel, a different terrain, new equipment, different skills or alternate riders-the horse’s heart rate may be abnormally high. 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 Intensity is the most important ingredient in any training program. Working too hard for too long invites injury and fatigue; working too effortlessly provides little training benefit. By monitoring your horse’s heart rate, you can adjust each activity session accordingly.

 A Polar Equine Heart Rate Monitor can give you a look inside your horse that is otherwise not possible. With that information, you can better manage the health and fitness of your horse, or help prepare him for the rigors of his event or race.
