In the healthy horse the pulse will beat on an average about 35 a minute; yet in some horses it may only be 30 or even 40 and the animal be in perfect health. The breed and tem- perament of an animal has a great deal to do with the number of pulse beats. In a thoroughbred the number of beats is gen- erally greater than in a coarse-bred horse. The pulse is less frequent in a dull, plethoric animal than in an excitable one. The pulse rate, then, should always be taken when the animal is quiet and at rest. Work, exercise, etc., increases the number of pulsations. A horse's pulse taken when he is standing quietly in the stable will be found less frequent than when he is at pas- ture.
