Environmental temperature extremes, exercise, and excitement may change an individual horseâs body temperature slightly, but body temperature usually remains within the normal range during these conditions.bove-normal rectal temperatures in horses may Large animal veterinary thermometer with string and hair clip attached indicate disease, overheating, or colic.

â¢ Average rate, at rest: 8-15 breaths per minute â¢ Depending on the exercise, recovery to the normal rate should be within 15 - 20 minutes. A healthy adult horse at rest will have a respiration rate just a bit lower than half his pulse rate. A horse with a pulse rate of 32 should have a respiration rate of about16 beats per minute. The respiration rate is the number of times a horse inhales and exhales each minute. (That's two actions for one beat.) Sixteen cycles per minute is an average respiration rate.
