Riding with heartbelts has many times been proven problemsome. The placment
of the electrodes must be adequately disatnced from one another and placed in
such a manner that body movement does not cause erratic readings. Hence, I
do not recommend riding with a heartbelt. They are very good and accurate
while stading or under ideal conditions, but in the the long run, you will
find the wired models such as the V-max are accuarte 95% of the time...AND,
they can be used with a separate heartbelt when the saddle is stripped for
continuation of reading at vet checks.

Teddy, I have heard this also, but wonder why it is? If they work
adequately for a human runner, why not for a horse? Why do the
electrodes have to be farther apart? Can you or Rodger comment on
this? Why would they be accurate for the horse standing, and not
the horse moving?
