In the beginning (1899) they were bred for herding and guarding sheep. Nowadays these dogs are used for many types of work like search-and-rescue, police and military, as a guide dog or for acting. German Shepherd Dogs are intelligent, fast, strong, and have a well developed sense of smell.
A normal resting horse has a heart rate of 38-40 beats per minute, foals (70-120 bpm), yearlings (45-60 bpm) and 2 year olds (40-50 bpm). Maximum heart rates can exceed 180 beats per minute, but a rate above 80 should be considered serious in most non-exercising horses. normal resting horse has a heart rate of 38-40 beats per minute, foals (70-120 bpm), yearlings (45-60 bpm) and 2 year olds (40-50 bpm).

How fast the heart beats is not the main information you are looking for with the digital pulse. Of course the heart rate is important, and in the resting horse a normal pulse is 30-40 beats per minute. But when you take a digital pulse, the information you gather comes from how the pulse feels.
