How much do you know about your horses heart?

THE HORSE'S HEART!

Even allowing for the fact that it's a big animal, the horse has a huge heart, weighing in at around 5kg in a 500kg horse! A large part of a horse's athleticism is linked to this large heart!

➡ A horse's heart rate can be as low as 15bpm when quiet and undisturbed during the night!
➡ Horses often "drop" or "miss" beats at rest when very calm. This is perfectly normal and known as second degree AV block!
➡ The horse's heart rate can reach 250bpm during maximal exercise, beating over 4 times a second!
➡ A horse's heart can pump enough blood in 1 minute of intense exercise to fill a standard bath!
➡ The horse's heart rate increases the harder it works, plateauing at around 190-250bpm, depending on age and breed and fitness and individual genetics!
➡ Below 160bpm the horse's heart rate can be heavily influenced by its environment e.g. it can be elevated due to excitement!
➡ Horses may commonly show arrhythmias (abnormal or irregular rhythm) when slowing down from exercise, but in the majority of cases these are not associated with heart disease!

What a gorgeous day full of terrier cuddles, stallion treatments and good friends. So lovely to have the time to watch them being ridden ❤️

Today we said goodbye to the most wonderful man we could have ever wished to have met, everything you see in this picture is the beautiful craftsmanship of both him and another fantastic friend.
This rose bush doesn’t look much but the irony is, neither did the property we bought before it was transformed into the home it is today so it seemed fitting to choose something that will also grow into something special and be with us for years to come as this was the gift we had been given.
Every time we go between our home and yard now we will remember him and be grateful for not only his friendship but everything he did for us. Goodbye Dylan x

Yesterday was super busy and pretty exciting as we had a film crew at the centre. A huge thank you to our amazing sponsored rider Robyn-jayne Hadland of WGS Clipping Services for taking the riding section by storm on one of our gorgeous rehabilitation liveries. We can’t wait to tell you more but for now here’s a couple of pictures of the day….
