IF you have a REAL V-MAX EHRm then BOTH parts have a battery.
Remember-- POLAR DOES NOT make EQUINE HRMS,
Companies like us , EPT make the monitor .. using componets from who ever we
want..as long as it works.
V-MAX is a registured trade mark of Equine Performance Technology (EXPT INC)
The V-MAX has NEVER use the POLAR 'belt' or one piece transmitter. We DI TRY
it in OUR HEARTBELT(TM) but it was not the best ..
One reason is: it plain does not work reliabliy.. VERY unstable..depends on
the shape of the horse and it must be VERY TIGHT... AND
IT IS NOT REPAIRABLE AND IT COSTS $60 to replace.. AND it goes dead
fast.. depending how it is stored. Some die in 6 months..
SO WHY would I want to buy a throw away unit that will surely cost me more in
a year or two...?
Thus WE at EPT dont sell it..
Changing the batteries in the POLAR units is not all that easy. We can do it
and stand behind the work. Some Radio Shacks really messed up some units.
We do it for a fee of $18, includes shipping.
Of course our new non polar based V-MAX Monitors dont have these problems,
YOU can change the batteries in the watch and transmitter.. no problem.

I'd creep up on the 110-115 recoveries and sit there with an endurance
horse--you don't need, I think, the kind of lactate tolerance we need with
racehorses.
2 Let's put it this way--the Law of Progressive Loading says that you
increase increments of physiological stress a slice at a time.

Tom,
Thanks for this openness discussion
Point 1 -Ok , cardiovascular and obviously VMAX capabilities are not the only
barriers of difficulty with an endurance horse.
Especialy when your objective is to finish, don't take care of that (roughly)
The alteration of locomotion must be carefully checked.
Point 2 -What is the slice size and the time period, that's the question. I mean
how dou you consider rest, what kind of and when ?
Best Regards

OOPS--Thanks Teddy-Forgot the big one-Errattic readings
Ripped electrodes. the OLD style electrodes use to rip at the point where the
lead pin went into the patch. SO check your electrode for a small tear..
thats all it takes to get bad readings.
Our NEW electrodes are molded- do not rip, are stonger, with a rough surface,
do not slide around as much and the pins do NOT pull out much anymore.
We have 3 styles of electrodes;
a hard thick one with rough surface. we use this under the girth..will NOT
cause a rub in MOST horses. If it does then switch it to one of the others
a molded softer thiner electrode for under the saddle.
a very thin streachy flimsy one IF the others donot work or cause a
problem.. I do not like these.. they are TOO thin. They work ok but have been
know to give errattic reading because they are to thin, not stable, they flex
too much.
I use 2 of the thicker hard electrodes. We use the SKITO equalizer pad ..and
keep the electrode under the saddle -in the area under the stirrup
hanger--NOT the fork or at the front of the saddle.. We do NOT have problems
using these electrodes AND we get LESS motion induced artifact.
bad spelling day
We find the problems and fix them.
Hard rain will wash the sweat from under the girht.. DEEP water same.. vet
check cleanup --all wash the salt off the horse.
SO when you re-tack at the vet check, use gel or mix up salt water in a spray
bottle and wet the horse again... Remember also the horse tends to reduce the
sweating as the miles go on--over 50.. thus there will be LESS electrolytes
from the horse to keep the electrical connection going.. so make sure you use
gel at all the checks. I carry a small tube with me and WHEN I get problems
and am off walking.. i just squirt a dab under the girth electode.
