Can be used for equine - horse monitoring
It is possible to use the Garmin Forerunner products while horse riding. For
monitoring heart rate and speed - distance data we would recommend either
the Garmin Forerunner 301 (in areas where there is clear sky, no tree cover
etc) or the Garmin Forerunner 305 for exceptional reception, even under
light tree cover. We recommend equinefitness.co.uk as the specialist
supplier of this product with bespoke GIRTH STRAP. Please visit them directly at www.equinefitness.co.uk - thank you. |
