Do you know what a Shetland pony’s heart rate should be? How fast does a Shetland pony’s heart beat and how can you tell?

Pony advice video

This week’s Shetland Pony Club TV is a pony advice video.   We visit the ranch on Vet’s Day at Shetland Pony Club camp. Join the children as they learn about a Shetland pony’s heart rate and how to measure it.

Watch as they learn where a Shetland pony’s heart is.  See how to use a stethoscope and where to put it to hear the pony’s heart.

  • What sound should you listen for?
  • How long should you count a pony’s heart beat for?
  • What is a Shetland pony’s average resting heart rate?
  • How much does a Shetland pony’s heart rate increase when he is galloping?

There’s so much to find out in this Pony advice video from Shetland Pony Club.

Watch the video to find out more:
