Choosing the Best Thermometer for Your Horse

Taking your horse’s temperature is one of the simplest ways to monitor their health. But a single reading is much more useful when you already know what is normal for your individual horse.

A healthy adult horse will typically have a temperature of around 37.2°C–38.6°C (99.0°F–101.5°F), although every horse is different.

Regularly checking and recording your horse’s temperature when they are healthy can help you establish their normal range, making it easier to recognise when something changes.

Know what’s normal. Spot when something changes.

What Should You Look for in a Horse Thermometer?

A good horse thermometer should be practical to use around a horse, easy to read and designed to make taking a rectal temperature as straightforward as possible.

For horses, the length of the thermometer is particularly important. A longer thermometer can be easier to hold securely while taking a rectal temperature than the small digital thermometers commonly designed for people.

Other useful features include a clear digital display, an audible signal when the reading is complete and the ability to record readings so you can compare them over time.

Why Use a Thermometer Designed for Horses?

Many standard digital thermometers are primarily designed for human use and can be relatively short.

The HORSEPAL Thermometer is specifically designed for horses, with an extra-long probe that makes it practical for taking a horse’s temperature.

It has a digital display and an audible beep to indicate when the temperature reading is complete. The display also uses colour to help identify the reading:

Green indicates a temperature within the normal range.
Red indicates a high temperature.
Blue indicates a low temperature.

Save Your Horse’s Temperature in the HORSEPAL App

One of the biggest differences between the HORSEPAL Thermometer and a basic digital thermometer is its Bluetooth connectivity.

The thermometer can connect to the HORSEPAL app, allowing the temperature reading to be saved to your horse’s health record.

Instead of taking a reading and forgetting the number later, you can build a history of your horse’s temperature and begin to understand what is normal for that individual horse.

What Is a Normal Temperature for a Horse?

A healthy adult horse will normally have a rectal temperature of approximately 37.2°C–38.6°C (99.0°F–101.5°F).

However, temperature can vary between individual horses and can also be influenced by factors such as exercise and environmental conditions.

This is why establishing your horse’s normal temperature when they are healthy can be useful. If you know what is normal for your horse, changes can be easier to recognise.

How Do You Take a Horse’s Temperature?

A horse’s temperature is normally measured rectally.

Apply a suitable lubricant to the thermometer probe and carefully insert the thermometer rectally. Keep hold of the thermometer while taking the reading.

The HORSEPAL Thermometer will beep when the reading is complete, allowing you to remove it and check the result.

After use, clean the probe thoroughly before storing the thermometer.

Why Record Your Horse’s Temperature?

Recording temperature over time gives you something much more useful than an isolated measurement.

By taking occasional readings when your horse is healthy, you can begin to establish their individual normal temperature.

The HORSEPAL app allows you to keep these readings together as part of your horse’s health record, helping you see previous measurements and recognise changes more easily.

More Than Temperature Monitoring

Temperature is only one of your horse’s important health measurements.

HORSEPAL also allows you to monitor heart rate using the HORSEPAL Heart Rate Monitor. The HRM can be used with the Electrode Handle for health checks from the ground or with the Training Belt for monitoring heart rate during exercise.

The HORSEPAL Health Check Kit combines the Heart Rate Monitor, Thermometer and health-check accessories, giving horse owners a practical way to monitor and record important information about their horse.

Frequently Asked Questions

What temperature is normal for a horse?

A healthy adult horse will typically have a temperature between 37.2°C and 38.6°C (99.0°F–101.5°F). Individual horses can vary, which is why it is useful to establish what is normal for your own horse.

Can I use a human thermometer on a horse?

A digital thermometer may be capable of measuring temperature rectally, but thermometers designed specifically for horses can be more practical because of their size and design. The HORSEPAL Thermometer has an extra-long probe designed specifically for use with horses.

Does the HORSEPAL Thermometer connect to a smartphone?

Yes. The HORSEPAL Thermometer uses Bluetooth to connect to the HORSEPAL app, allowing you to save your horse’s temperature to their health record.

Does the HORSEPAL Thermometer show Celsius and Fahrenheit?

Yes. The HORSEPAL Thermometer can display readings in °C or °F.

How should I clean a horse thermometer?

After use, clean the probe with mild soap and warm water or 70% isopropyl alcohol. The display section should not be immersed in water.

Know Your Horse’s Normal Temperature

Taking your horse’s temperature is quick, but the real value comes from knowing what is normal for your individual horse.

With its extra-long design, digital display, colour temperature indication and Bluetooth connection to the HORSEPAL app, the HORSEPAL Thermometer makes it easier to take, record and keep track of your horse’s temperature.

How Much Does the HORSEPAL Horse Thermometer Cost?

The HORSEPAL Thermometer costs €39.99 in Europe.

Designed specifically for horses, it features an extra-long probe, digital display, colour temperature indication and Bluetooth connectivity to the HORSEPAL app.

Temperature readings can be saved directly to your horse’s health record in the app, helping you build a history and establish what is normal for your individual horse.

For horse owners who also want to monitor heart rate, the thermometer is included as part of the HORSEPAL Health Check Kit, which combines temperature and heart rate monitoring in one health-check system.
