An equine heart rate monitor (4) provided with electrodes (2) is mounted to a saddle girth (1). When the girth (1) is used to secure a saddle (11) to a horse (10), the electrodes (2) contact the horse's skin above and below the level of its heart, while a main body of the monitor (4) is located on an outer face (8) of the girth (1) away from the horse (10). The electrodes (2) detect the horse's heart beat, and a short-range radio transmitter within the monitor (4) transfers heart rate data wirelessly to a display device wearable, for example, on a rider's wrist. The rider thus has a continuous real-time display of the horse's heart rate, and optionally calculated maximum, minimum and average heart rates, so that an exercise session may be tailored to provide maximum benefit to the horse's fitness without exhausting it. |
