New ?--Heart monitors

MabelOtay...(gee, see what happens when I lurk forever...got a million
questions when I come out of hiding!)

I THINK I would love to have a heart monitor....after all, I keep track of
MY heart rate when I'm at the gym so I don't over/under work. So, why not
the horse?  After all, he/she can't actually speak the words to me and I'm
just not good enough to take a pulse and trot :)

So, since I know basicly everyone agrees that heart monitors are necessary
equipment when conditioning, not just a novelty...what ones do you guys like
thebest?  The equipment at the gym is powered by Polaris, and seems to work
fine.

letting the new wierdo babble :)
