[RC] Accuracy of handhelds - Ridecamp Guest

Please Reply to: Buddy Gleason glea6826@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
==========================================

Again. This is no brainer. Either use one or the other. Be consistent. Then 
riders and everyone will all be on the same playing field. Still, I prefer the 
stethoscope. That is the measuring instrument that the vets use. Handhelds or 
stethoscope. NOT BOTH> I am not questioning the accuracy of the handheld 
measuring device. Nor the accuracy of the stethoscope. However, there are 
differing opinions of both at a ride. When time is of the upmost. Just make it 
simple and only use one method to measure the heart beat. Then educate the 
pulse takers to that method. At the Gate into the Hold.  Sure would save alot 
of , for example, my horse was not wet enough, or not in the right place, or 
position, and all the other comments you hear about your horse not being read 
correctly, excited by other horses coming and going, etc, etc. Buddy
