Re: [RC] Silly Question - luv2ridefarOne book I have shows the blood pressure being taken on the tail of the horse, sort of like a person's arm. I don't have it handy to refer to and see what the normal is. And if I remember right, they were just measuring the systolic (highest number) by watching for the start of the 'bounce' of the needle on the spigmomenometer dial. There was no place to put the stethoscope to listen, I guess. I think you could use an automatic cuff though and get a reading.
