light therapy session given by a suitability qualified induvial who had undertaken the correct qualifications to apply light therapy treatment. 3.4 Equipment During each session the horses were connected to a Polar RS800Cx heart rate monitor with a Wearlink transmitter which transmitted the readings to a wearable watch. The monitor was situated around the girth line in order to accurately measure heart rate at every two-minute interval of the session. The girth line of the horses was dampened to ensure the monitor was able to read the heart rate more effectively. A FLIR C3 thermography camera was set up 10metres from the horse to accurately measure the surface temperature of the horse’s body throughout the ten minute session. Images are to be taken at every two-minute interval through the session and four minutes pre and post treatment. Taking the pictures in this way allowed the changes in surface temperature to be assessed throughout the session and to be observed on the FLIR Tools programme to determine exact temperature at certain points. A fellow student was on hand throughout all the horse’s sessions, recording the heart rate values and taking the pictures on the camera. This operator also turned on/off the video camera which allowed the behaviours of the horses to be assessed. The recording commenced 5 minutes before the session began and 5 minutes after the session ended, this extra minute was to account for technical issues. An ethogram which had been previously devised allowed the behaviours experienced during the session to be noted and later calculated. The video camera is able record the entire session from start to finish so that it can be reviewed and no behaviour would be missed. Verbal communication between the therapist and the camera would ensure that any activity that might not be captured on the camera could be noted, in the event that heart rate or behaviour was to suddenly change for example, people outside the therapy barn. The ethogram devised for this study is in Table 1. 15PDF Image | THE EFFECT OF LIGHT THERAPY ON HEART RATE, HORSES
