A horse's resting heart rate is around 28–40 beats per minute, but it can rise up to 240 during stress or intense activity.
The horse's heart is incredibly powerful — it can pump over 60 liters of blood per minute during running.
Human emotions can affect a horse's heart rate. Studies show that horses "read" human moods and mirror them.
During calm interaction, the heart rates of the human and horse can synchronize — a phenomenon known as bioelectrical resonance.
Horses sense a person's presence even before physical contact — their heart reacts to energy changes nearby.
A horse's heart generates a strong electromagnetic field, capable of transmitting emotional signals to other horses and even people.
Horses have a highly developed parasympathetic system, allowing them to calm down quickly in a safe environment.
A handler’s anxiety or fear can trigger stress in the horse — even if no real threat is present.
During cuddling or quiet companionship, a horse’s heartbeat slows down — a clear sign of trust.
Young horses experience emotional “storms” more frequently — much like humans, their hearts and nervous systems are still developing.
Trauma can leave an "emotional imprint" on a horse's heartbeat, even long after physical recovery.
Horses have the ability for emotional healing — kind and caring human contact can stabilize their heartbeat.
The horse’s heart is often seen as a symbol of deep intuition — horses can "feel" intentions before a word is spoken.
Scientific studies confirm that the emotional bond between human and horse is not a myth — it's a real physiological interaction of hearts, which can even have healing effects.
