Yup, elastic might do that. I meant to say
neoprene. (AKA "wireless" HRM.) The only problem mine has ever
caused is eventually my chestnut got a very small white spot high on his wither
from the pressure of the strap.
".... "elastic strap HRMs" that you just put on
before you tack up and keep on during a ride...."
Some people report that the elastic straps under the
saddle can cause sores as the saddle moves during a ride. I don't know
for sure as mine was purchased specifically to put on after stripping
tack.
