The short answer is yes.

Now the long answer. There are 3 ways to do this that I know about.

First, just get a long horse-sized chest strap and position the
transmitter to pick up the heart rate. This is what I do at vet
checks.

Second, use the transmitter under the girth. I don't like this method
as I don't like the transmitter under the girth. Too bulky. But I have
talked with people that do this.

Third, spend $55 to buy a converter kit that will allow the use of
large flat electrodes. One goes under the saddle and the other under
the girth. I use this method under saddle. The converter kit can be
had from Roger Rittenhouse at http://www.vmaxept.com/. You want the
"STRIP TRANSMITTER ADAPTOR LEAD KIT" referenced on his front page.
Comes with directions and works great.

I have 2 strip transmitters. One for use at vet checks and the other
that is adapted with Roger's kit. For what it's worth, I use the
Garmin 301 integrated GPS/HRM unit and I love it.
