Antoine de Watrigant’s Equimetre experience
Antoine De Watrigant, trainer at Mont-de-Marsan, in the south-west of France, find out how he uses Equimetre and data.
Heart murmur and performance: are they compatible?
The cardiovascular system can be compared to a huge orchestra, and the presence of any structural defect can alter the functioning of the system and throw the orchestra out of harmony. A heart murmur is added to the initially audible heartbeat and becomes a false note in the orchestra, requiring the trainer to intervene on several levels.

8 reasons to use a heart rate monitor
Here are the 8 reasons why the heart rate monitor
Monitoring the impact of a race on racehorse
Monitoring the impact of a race on a racehorse is core in order to prepare him to the next races in the best conditions possible.
How do racehorses create energy?
In order to better analyse heart rate, recovery and establish an objective diagnosis of your horses’ fitness, it may be useful to investigate the physiological mechanisms involved when the horse athlete is training.
How to improve the racehorse’s recovery?
Recovery is one of the main indicators of a horse’s fitness condition: the better a horse’s recovery.
Racehorse cardio: how to analyse your training data?
A precise knowledge of the evolution of your horse’s heart rate during exercise enables you to optimise its performance and to be alerted to possible sub-clinical pathologies. It also allows you to adapt the exercises as well as possible, in order to improve its cardio and physical performance.
The Racehorse’s heart rate: a brief introduction
Measuring the racehorse’s heart rate provides information on the fitness level and fitness training…
RACEHORSE TRAINING MONITORING
Locomotion data: what’s in it for the day-to-day work?
Locomotion data helps us to understand how a horse moves around the track, providing valuable information about its physical ability, fitness and potential. Every horse has its own stride, and the way in which its canter is constructed varies little throughout its life. By looking at the parameters of cadence and amplitude at a fixed speed, we can obtain indications of a horse’s theoretical preferred distance.
Weather conditions: how do they affect the performance of racehorses?
Weather conditions play a significant role in the performance of racehorses. Whether it’s temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, precipitation or atmospheric pressure, each factor can influence a horse’s performance on the track.
Fitness markers: what should you look for in a racehorse?
A racehorse’s recovery is one of the main indicators of its state of fitness. Analysed alongside the intensity of the work required, heart rate (HR) is an excellent indicator of the intensity of the effort made by the horse and its recovery after the effort. An optimal state of fitness is shown by the ease with which the horse recovers after exertion.
Conditioning vs training: what are the differences in horses?
Conditioning and training are terms that could be confused. Although both terms lead to an improvement in the horse’s abilities, they do not have the same effects on the horse. This article explains the principle of conditioning and its effects, as well as those of training.
Speed markers: what are the indicators for a racehorse?
Why should you care about tracking data?
Although the progress made by racecourses in terms of tracking systems is gaining ground, the interpretation of this data is not always obvious. What is a good time? How can this information be used for the morning’s work? Having good keys to interpreting this speed data allows for a finer analysis of speed skills.
How to follow the training of your two-year-olds?
Every winter, a new generation of racehorses arrives at the stables. How to follow the evolution of these two-year-olds during their first month of training?
