[RC] vests, helmets, and heart rate minotirs - Jonni
>>>Do many of you use heart
rate monitors in your training? Are they allowed during
competition?<<<
Many do, and some seem to pay so
much attention to them at times, they are not really listening to what their
horse is telling them otherwise. They get too focused on the HRM. But, can be an
excellent training tool. Yes, allowed in competition. You will find riders who
have ridden thousands and thousands of miles, and have never used one, and
others who won't ride without one.
>>>I was also wondering if
many of you ride in vests and/or helmets?<<<
I'd say these days, we are maybe to
the point where more ride WITH helmets than without. And, I do see a few more
eventer vests out there on the trail. Not a lot, but some.
