Heart rate monitoring allows us to closely monitor the well being of the horse in training. Since stress raises the heart rate, real time monitoring allows us to avoid pushing the horse/pony too far. At the same time, athletic development will only occur when working -- so it is a very delicate balance. We began using real time monitoring when Claire was recovering from surgery. It has proven to be an invaluable training aid that we now use for all conditioning.
We develop training plans that are downloaded into the realtime monitoring tool This helps us work according to a progressive plan -- while allowing for variations if we see signs of stress. Prior to any conditioning training session, the training plan is downloaded and the monitor is attached to the horse. We monitor heart rate during activity and also track the recovery time.
Because they're worth it....
Heart rate, speed, average speed, distance, and heart rate variability
(HRV) are just a small example of the information you can view and store
on your training computer and later transfer to your computer for review. Build training plans,
download to the wrist-watch sized receiver to monitor realtime. Take the guesswork
out of conditioning or rehabilitating your partner!
Used when training/conditioning our partners, we KNOW how this unit performs.
Purchase includes everything you need to get started....including training plans so you
can be up and running in no time! We're drivers and we know how to use these tools
with the unique demands of driving.
