Most riders assess the work intensity of their horses subjectively, usually by the amount of work completed and the physiological response to the work, such as breathing patterns and degree of sweating.
With recent technological advances, however, riders no longer have to depend on subjectivity or guesswork to gauge work intensity.
Researchers at Kentucky Equine Research (KER) have fine-tuned a way to accurately assess work intensity through a smartphone app called KER ClockIt Sport.
KER ClockIt Sport is available on iTunes and the Google Play store. For more information, see www.kerclockit.com.
