Hi, Patty,

I use Roger Rittenhouse's adapter kit to use the HRM with my horse. This works for any human chest heart rate montior. You can get the basic version for $55 or the deluxe version for $75. This gives me the nice wide flat electrodes to put under the saddle and the girth.

Here is a pictoral explaination of the way I use the heart rate monitor for my horse.

Wow April that site is great! Does the Forerunner 305 come with a belt large enough for a horse or do we have to rig it? Does it monitor the heart rate during the ride? Doesn't the heart rate monitor get knocked out of place by the girth?

Hi, Ridecampers,

The best wrist unit is the Forerunner 305 and runs about $275. It has much better GPS reception than any previous unit, and that's important if you're going to use it anywhere other than very open terrain (meaning no buildings, no trees, no nothing). This unit also has a heart rate monitor and you can get an optional cadence unit for bikes and a foot pod is soon to be released.
