HELPFUL TIPS
Determine a baseline.
Most horses have a morning resting heart rate of 25 – 35 beats per minute. Record each horses resting heart rate for 5 consecutive days first thing in the morning. Add those numbers. Divide the answer by five. This is your horse's average resting heart rate. Write it down, you can refer to it over and over again as you monitor your horse's progress.
Monitor as the exercise days progress.
Recovery heart rate after exercise is individual for each horse. As your horse becomes fitter, the heart rate after similar levels of exercise will become lower and lower AND it will gradually do this in shorter and shorter time. The Polar Fit Kit will find your horse's heart rate within 10 seconds of correct placement.
