I use a Garmin Forerunner 305 with my horse. I use Roger Rittenhouse's transmitter adapter to be able to convert the chest belt to two big flat electrodes. One goes under the saddle, the other on the girth. Works quite well.

You can get the 305 from Amazon.com (among lots of other places).

The Distance Depot sells the adapter kit. http://www.thedistancedepot.com/V_MAX_STRIP_TRANSMITTER_ADAPTER_KIT_p/fth-vmstak.htm

Pics of the HRM put together with the 305.

I'm almost ready to buy my first GPS.  What is the best to use as a heart monitor as well as GPS?  How do they hook up to the horse?  I saw one at convention that had a belt that went under the girth.  My horse is ultra sensative & I doubt the belt under his girth will go over well.  Are there any other ways to use the GPS as an equine heart monitor?  TIA
