35. low HRmax value is a sign of lesser performance potential Extreme endurance training may hinder reaching HRmax in speed testing Therefore maximum heart rate is not an absolute value but the individual highest number of beats per minute under certain forms of strain and effort For a healthy horse reaching maximum heart rate due to physical effort does not present a health hazard but rather indicates full use of its natural performance potential It allows us to establish a reference value that is a value to control exertion and to measure the difficulties of exercises At the beginning and until you are sufficiently knowledgeable yourself you should ask an experienced trainer or veterinarian for advice They will check your horse s general state of health before determining its HRmax Then you can rest assured that your horse will run no health risk through exercise and effort Test a Full use of performance potential over 1000 to 1600 meters It is unlikely that such a distance test will induce a horse to peak performance when under training it needs a real race with real competitive atmosphere If you manage to monitor the heart rate during a race or rather during the 20 seconds when your horse is at its maximum speed the top value will be its maximum heart rate Test b Speed test with progressive increase this test requires a slow step by step increase of the galloping speed for instance every 400 m over a period of time of 2
