Hi there, just thought I'd post to see if anyone has any additional
suggestions on how to attach my Polar HRM electrodes (purchased from The
Australian Connection) to my (relatively) new neoprene girth. Switched to
the neoprene girth after I gave my poor gelding a lovely matched pair of rub
sores a few weeks back (using our Woolback fleece girth that we've been fine
with up until now).

So, to make a long story short, I've already tried using a cut-off knee sock
and attaching a piece of Dr. Scholl's adhesive-backed "moleskin" to the
inside of the girth. The velcro on the electrode would not stay "stuck" to
either one once the horse got nice and sweat-slickery.

Tonight I went out and bought some adhesive-backed velcro and some glue-type
stuff to try to firmly affix it with, but if anyone else has had any
successes and wishes to share them - suggestions greatly appreciated!!

Thanks - Lynne
