[RC] Heart Monitor - Belt vs. Electrodes - Sherman
This may have been mentioned already, but your
horse's winter coat may be interfering with the sensors picking up the heart
rate. Last winter, I thought for sure my monitor already had gone haywire,
'cause it had worked for a while, then started giving wacky readings, or, not
showing the heart rate climbing or falling, would just suddenly rise or drop 40
or 50 BPMs. As soon as the hair shed, all the problems stopped, with the
exception of an occassional off reading when the sensor slips out of place from
under the saddle pad, or the one on the girth falls off or is too high or
low.

My
experiance last week was just like yours, mid 30 heart rate, then 177 then
80. What the heck? Where is the best place to have the sending unit get
its pulse? thanks Keith
