Re: [RC] HRM's and loose girths - Elaine DelbekeI also ride with a loose girth and so do a number of my friends. What I do is put one electrode under the saddle pad on the left at about 10 o'clock, and the other (long lead)on the right under the saddle pad as near to the cinch attachment as possible. This works well at a walk and standing and at a gentle canter. Since you are depending on your weight on the saddle to maintain contact, at a trot you get some erroneous readings, I presume from saddle bounce. It works well for waking in and pulsing down. Readings no so reliable trotting. Have seen some with equalizer or similar saddle pads run electrode wires inside the pad, with exit point at desired electrode position, and monitor sender unit also inside the pad at the front of the saddle. That way the whole unit can be stripped off at vet checks and it all stays together with no rewiring required, and no exposed wires to get caught on anything. Easy to put bakc on.
