Re: RC: HRM Electrode placement

[Teresa Van Hove <tvanhove@uswest.net>]

Hi Lisa,

I just attached my electrode to my girth with silicone
caulk so it wouldn't slide.  So far its working great.
But I have extra electrodes from an old, HRM so I can
use still use my HRM on other horses.  I went with the
silicone because Grey is rediculously thin skinned and
a velcro band around the girth rubs him raw.  Some tips
I think I've heard on RC in prev. years.

Use a terry wrist band on the girth - put some extra 
foam behind the band to push the electrode out more,
and my HRM directions do say that some folks find
that both electrodes under the saddle works best.

good luck,
Teresa
