It is easy enough to check the rest of the vital signs on the list while you are grooming your horse, or by doing a quick body check.<\/p>\n<h3>Temperature<\/h3>\n<p><em>What you need to know<\/em> \u2013 A horse&#8217;s body temperature is normally between 99 \u2013 101 degrees Fahrenheit. That number will fluctuate depending on climate, stress, and exercise, so it is a good idea to know what your horse\u2019s temperature is during different circumstances to know what is normal for your horse. If your horse\u2019s temperature ever runs over 102 degrees then it is time to consult your vet, as this could be the first indication that something is not right.<\/p>\n<p><em>How to take your horse\u2019s temperature<\/em> &#8211; You are going to want to make sure you have a thermometer in your equine first aid kit, as well as some alcohol, and paper towels handy to clean the thermometer after using it. The most accurate way to take your horse&#8217;s temperature is rectally; you may need a lubricant to help insert the thermometer. You\u2019ll want to attach some string to your thermometer and be sure you have a tight grip on it while you take its temperature. Also, be sure you stand to the side of your horse while taking its temperature, that way you are in the safest position possible should your horse decide to kick out.<\/p>\n<h3>Pulse\/Heart Rate<\/h3>\n<p><em>What you need to know<\/em> \u2013 The typical heart rate for adult horses is between 30 \u2013 40 beats per minute. Like temperature, your horse\u2019s heart rate will rise in different circumstances, especially during exercise, but it should always come back down to the resting rate. If your horse\u2019s heart rate remains elevated after a sufficient rest period following exercise or is elevated while your horse is at rest, it may indicate that your horse is experiencing pain somewhere in his body. A consistent rate over 40 at rest means you need to consult your vet.<\/p>\n<p><em>How to check your horse\u2019s heart rate<\/em> &#8211; There are a couple of ways that you can check your horse\u2019s pulse. One option is using a stethoscope to listen to your horse\u2019s heart, or the other option is to place your index and middle finger under your horse\u2019s jaw till you find a pulse, and then count the number of beats per minute.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-37050\" src=\"https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/YHF-Blog-122022-BM-4.png\" alt=\"Horse's Vital Signs\" width=\"1200\" height=\"628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/YHF-Blog-122022-BM-4.png 1200w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/YHF-Blog-122022-BM-4-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/YHF-Blog-122022-BM-4-1024x536.png 1024w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/YHF-Blog-122022-BM-4-768x402.png 768w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/YHF-Blog-122022-BM-4-560x293.png 560w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/YHF-Blog-122022-BM-4-160x84.png 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Respiratory Rate<\/h3>\n<p><em>What you need to know<\/em> \u2013 The average breaths per minute for an adult horse is between 8 &#8211; 15 breaths per minute. As with all the other vital signs, this number will change with stress, exercise, and climate, but on average your horse should be in the 8 &#8211; 15 breaths per minute range at rest.<\/p>\n<p><em>How to check your horse\u2019s breathing rate<\/em> &#8211; With most horses you can easily see their sides expand as they inhale, and contract as they exhale, simply count the number of times your horse\u2019s body expands in one minute, and you will have your horse\u2019s breaths per minute.<\/p>\n<h3>It Never Hurts To Ask<\/h3>\n<p>If you have never checked your horse&#8217;s vital signs before, and you would prefer some hands-on training, I would highly encourage you to ask your veterinarian to demonstrate for you the next time they are out. Checking your horse&#8217;s vitals regularly will also help your horse to become more accustomed to the procedures, and make routine checkups a little easier for your veterinarian as well.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:15px 0;border-width:3px;border-color:#999999\"><a href=\"#\" style=\"color:#999999\">Go to top<\/a><\/div>\n<p>Leave us a comment and tell us how you keep track of your horse&#8217;s health!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-37048\" src=\"https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/YHF-Blog-122022-BM-3.png\" alt=\"Horse's Vital Signs\" width=\"1200\" height=\"628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/YHF-Blog-122022-BM-3.png 1200w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/YHF-Blog-122022-BM-3-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/YHF-Blog-122022-BM-3-1024x536.png 1024w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/YHF-Blog-122022-BM-3-768x402.png 768w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/YHF-Blog-122022-BM-3-560x293.png 560w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/YHF-Blog-122022-BM-3-160x84.png 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em><strong>Love this blog post?<\/strong>\u00a0We think you will like <a href=\"https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/brrr-is-your-horse-cold\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Brrr\u2026 Is Your Horse Cold?<\/a> by Emily Fought.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Regularly monitoring your horse\u2019s vital signs is important, as they are often the first indicators that your horse isn\u2019t feeling well, especially when there are no other symptoms present.
