Ridecamp: RE: [RC] re: hrm

Cindi, before you create a hole in his coat, try using Aloe Vera GEL (not
lotion or liquid, GEL).  It's that thick green stuff, comes in a plastic
squeeze bottle and works great for electrodes, and of course is great for
skin.  You are correct in your assumption - bad contact via thick
non-conductive hair will impair the HRM.

Well,  I went out for a ride today with different
leads and still the same readings or no readings.  It
was driving me crazy.  I finally just turned the thing
off.
When I got home,  I was ready to just buy a new one.
But,  I put it on me and it worked perfectly!
You know what I think is happening... my horse has
thicker hair.  He's a grey (some greys have thicker
hair).  I think its not getting a good reading through
his hair.   I'm going to shave a small area where his
electrodes go and see what happens.
Because there's nothing wrong with the monitor.
