| heart rate |
Generally measured as beats per minute (BPM). Normal resting heart rate range is 24 to 44 beats per minute. A low resting heart rate gives an advantage to a horse in distance riding. The most efficient range is while the horse stays in aerobic metabolism (generally under 150 bpm). Horses are expected to recover to heart rates near the resting level (usually 68) at the vet checks. If they do not recover within a specified time, this is a sign of fatigue, pain, or other metabolic problems.
