The objective of this study was to characterize the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of intravenous administration of magnesium sulfate to horses using a novel radio-telemetry system for physiologic signal capture. Five Horses were surgically implanted with a radio-telemetric carotid catheter. Implants were paired with a non-invasive telemetric unit which acquired a six lead ECG and 3-axis acceleration to assess activity acquired wirelessly in real-time for future analysis. Horses were exposed to a new stall environment before (baseline) and after 60 mg/kg (30 mL) of magnesium sulfate (MgSO 4 ), or the same volume of 0.9% saline, administered intravenously in a blinded, random crossover design. Blood for pharmacokinetics, telemetric data, and body temperature were recorded serially for 24 h. Data were analyzed across time and between treatments. Significance was set at  P  &lt; 0.05. Ionized magnesium concentration (Mg 2+ ) increased and the Ca 2+  to Mg 2+  ratio decreased and persisted for 5 h after MgSO 4  administration. Heart rate (HR) increased and mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) decreased for at least 6 h. Electrocardiogram (ECG) intervals (RR) decreased and (PR and QTc) increased in duration compared to controls indicating an increase in heart rate, and slower myocardial conduction in the MgSO 4  group. Acceleration in all planes was less in the MgSO 4  group compared to controls indicating decreased locomotion. This novel method permitted collection of physiologic signals without interference by handlers or animal restraint. An intravenous bolus of MgSO 4  produced cardiac variable changes associated with the reduction of locomotion in these horses, and in a direction that may be causal. Locomotion was decreased when horses were first introduced into a new environment which reflects the calming effect desired in sport horses. Telemetric monitoring can be used as a model to elucidate the behavior and physiologic effects of other drugs. The administration of MgSO 4  may be detected for regulatory purposes with the monitoring of Mg 2+  and Ca 2+  concentrations and their ratio.
