Hi, Lisa,

I have used Garmin HRM/GPS units for years. I have always used the VMAX adapter kit with great success.

Here is a blog post I wrote to show step by step the process of doing the adaptation using the kit.

And here is another post I wrote showing how to use it on the horse.

Feel free to contact me privately if you have further questions about your Garmin unit or the adaption process and I'll help if I can.

Thanks,
April

Hi There! I have a question that I don’t know who can answer so I’m trying you. I’m an endurance rider in Canada. I bought a Garmin GPS with a built in heart rate monitor. The heart rate monitor came with a wire less sensor, however this sensor is for humans. I have tried to get a reading off my horse with it and it won’t read and it won’t fit. I know that there are people who use this for their horses and I was wondering if you would know how I can use this for my horse. Is there some kind of other sensor I can buy that will read with my Garmin product? Any help you can give me would be very appreciated. I have tried to ask the people at Garmin but they don’t know. Thank you!
