The aerobic threshold for a horse is less than 165 beats per minute. To effectively condition a horse for aerobic fitness, the heart rate should be raised and sustained between 100 beats per minute and 165 beats per minute. As you are measuring your horse’s heart rate after exercise, also jot down his respirations to see how easily they return to a resting state.

Non-performance horses (light pleasure) can also take advantage of an HRM, as can foals (from birth), especially if they are bred to achieve high levels of performance. Saddle/harness the horse. The heart rate sensor should stay under the girth/harness. Attach the heart rate sensor to the girth/harness with the strap as indicated. You can find heart rate monitors that your horse can wear as you ride. These devices sync with your smartphone so that you have a clear picture of what is going on as you ride, and at what point in the ride.Determine your horse's normal, resting heart rate. This is the resting benchmark. (Getting an accurate reading the first few times may be difficult if the horse is nervous because of a new situation, so you may need several attempts as the horse adjusts to the monitor). A horse that is sprinting will have a heart rate of over 190 beats per minute. The heart rate should slow to 120 beats per minute between sprints. If the heart rate does not slow to 130 to 140 beats per minute after two minutes, the horse should be allowed to warm down and should be monitored for signs of continued fatigue. Activity

Grain of salt here – every horse is going to vary, from hour to hour and over time. Most horses have that baseline heart rate of 30-ish bpm. At a brisk walk, perhaps about 75 bpm, but usually between 50 and 90 bpm. Trotting, perhaps about 120 bpm, or somewhere between 80 and 140 bpm. Cantering, look for a bpm around 145, generally between 120 and 170 bpm. Galloping is much greater, logically, at around 200 bpm in a window between 160 and 240 bpm.
