FS1 heart rate receiver

Use for resting or recovery heart rate. The horse should be stationary and rider should be dismounted.  

Above normal resting or recovery heart rate can be an indicator of illness, injury, stress, anxiety or over training.
  

Assess Vital Signs:

- Behavioral changes
- Eating patterns
- Body Check
- Resting body temperature
- Resting heart rate
- Recovery heart rate
- Resting respiratory rate
- Capillary refill time
- Skin pinch test

Most horses have a morning resting heart rate of  25 – 35 beats per minute.  Recovery heart rate after exercise is higher and individual for each horse. Heart rate will "recover" more quickly as your horse becomes more fit. 

Learning to evaluate vital signs helps you monitor the health of your horse, and anticipate minor medical and health problems before they become serious.

Includes informative Vital Measurements booklet and Vital Signs record booklet.

Health Check and Heart Rate Watch/Receiver

Horse thermometer with safety clip

Recovery heart rate measures the horse’s heart rate after exercise while standing still.

Moisten both electrode pads  and position them on the horse coat near the elbow. Place the transmitter against the coat horse, hold the face of the receiver next to the center part of the Transmitter's Polar logo.  

Heart Rate measurement will start in 10 seconds and you can see your heart rate (beats per minute) and the heart symbol in the display. 

The FS-1 Receiver also displays time of day, stop watch feature and target zone alarms.
