With most of them there is a little "heart" on the monitor that is 
flashing with each beat of the heart. When the unit is reading correctly 
the flashing should be stable.  My guess is when they took your horse's 
pulse that flash was erratic - which meant that there was not good 
contact. Depending on the receiver it might have just kept the display 
here it was and not updated.

Taking it away, reset it and when they put it back on it got a good 
signal and worked properly.
