Polar Equine Training Systems (Finland)
About: Polar Equine training systems enable the health status of horses to be determined during general exercise or competition at a price point and with the ease of use that makes it a staple tech for recreational owners, competitive riders and professional elite trainers alike. By continuously and regularly monitoring vital signs awareness of abnormal activity can be used to trigger alerts that will help you avoid immediate or impending problems such as injury, illness, or fatigue.  Changes in a Horse’s Heart rate gives you a measure of how it is coping because it will change in response to stress, travel, environment, new equipment, different skills, different riders, etc. You can use this information to learn more about a horse and optimise your work with it, ensure proper warm-up and recovery, track fitness improvement by comparing exercise and recovery heart rates, optimise training intensity (helping you avoid working it too lightly or too hard for too long and in doing so avoiding the related increased risks of injury/fatigue), accurately develop interval training for a particular horse and gauge intensity in different exercise programs (eg. while doing a aquatreadmill session or swimming).
