[RC] HRM problems - MateefI have had a HRM for 10 years or so. The gelding I have now gets the craziest readings. I can get a normal resting pulse shortly after getting on. As soon as we start moving down the trial, he shows working numbers in the 190's and 200's. After walking for a while, when it is obvious he is calm and relaxed, it's still reading 170 or more. At vet checks, when the P&R people try to use a hand held HRM, they get high readings. They almost always have to resort to a stethoscope. Is there some way I can use my HRM? I have always put the short lead on the near side under the saddle, down and back of the withers and the long lead on the off side under the girth. Any suggestions? Ideas?
