A Polar heart rate monitor
is an easy to use
diagnostic tool, which supplies precise (ECG accurate) as well
as constant heart rate information while exercising.
Heart rate monitoring
technology makes it possible to monitor the condition of your
animal at any moment, regulate the intensity and keep a
document of the whole exercise session or training process.
Why
Heart Rate?
Whatever your interest in
equine activities, there is no more reliable measure of a
horse's biological condition than heart rate.
A continuous measure of a
horse's heart rate can help you:
· Design an exercise or
training program which is safe, reliable and appropriate
for your discipline
· Measure how your horse is
responding to exercise or training
· Monitor your horse's
recovery from exercise or injury

A
vital indicator
of your horse's general health
Polar Equine Heart Rate
Monitors continuously measure a horse's heart rate via an
electrical impulse.
Your horse's heart rate is displayed
on the screen of a 'watch' receiver worn by the rider or
attached to the sulky. The Polar Equine Heart Rate Monitors
are recognized world wide for their accuracy and reliability.
Horse
Health:
Horse heart rate gives an immediate feedback on horse health.
Illness, injury or over
training will  produce an elevated
heart rate. Polar Equine Heart Rate Monitors eliminate
the inconvenience of the veterinarian's
stethoscope and provide an objective measure of a horse's
state of health. They are an essential complement to the
horsemanship that leads to a successful and rewarding
relationship between horse, rider or
"Heart
Rate zones"
offers a guide to the heart rate level or zone best suited to
the type of activity the horse is undertaking and what
heart rate are normal for each kind of activity.
Polar offers a wide range of
monitors for all equine disciplines. Polar Equine Heart Rate
Monitors are suitable
for
all users, from those involved in competition, high
performance and training, to those concerned with
the general
health and well being of their horse.
Equine
Fitness
Often
in a horse's career the first priority might be skills like
dressage and jumping or performance figures, measurements,
distances and speed. Modern training methods using heart
rate for fitness testing and training cardio vascular
conditioning, are transforming the standards of the art
and science of equine training today.
Animal Athletes A competing Horse is an
athlete and like other athletes careful monitoring of heart rate can
lead to
significant improvements in performance, endurance and health.

your heart" because Polar technology can help you discover the hidden
potential of your horse!
