Re: [RC] accuracy of hand helt heart rate monitors - rides2farWearing a watch on the hand that holds the heart rate monitor can affect the results. Maybe the same person checked both your horses?

I didn't argue with them but I did say that my HRM was a lot lower. They took the handheld away and held it for a few seconds and it read 42. I think there is a bit of "memory" in the handhelds and unless they are allowed to clear completely from the last horse it was used on, it will read that number. It then takes a little bit until it registers the new heart rate. Maybe someone with more experience on handhelds will chime in and clear the confusion. Lee I argue very well. Ask any of my remaining friends. I can win an argument on any topic. People know this and steer clear of me at parties. Often as a sign of their great respect, they don't even invite me.
