An electrode support includes a first reference electrode and a second electrode, the electrodes being electrically insulated from each other and able to measure two electric potentials at the surface of a haired animal body, the electrode support further including an electronic module including at least one memory, a calculator and a first electric interface to receive electric signals acquired from each electrode for recording a cardiac activity of the haired animal, the electrodes each including a one-piece structure formed of a polymer material in which conductive elements are distributed, the structure including a base and a plurality of projections able to go through a coat.

A horse buckle includes a buckle ring seat; a prong movably coupled to the buckle ring seat; an elastic unit arranged between the buckle ring seat and the prong and including an elastic element having two end respectively fixed to the buckle ring seat and the prong, a barrel fit outside the elastic element, and a pin mounted to one side of the buckle ring seat and movably coupled to the prong; and a support unit movably mounted to an end the buckle ring seat. As such, the buckle ring seat is coupled to a girth for use and receives a fastening strap to extend through the buckle ring seat and a restoration spring force of an elastic element makes a prong quickly seated in a positioning hole of the fastening strap.

A conditioning device for use with an animal to improve the animal's physical well-being and develop physical strength, the device comprising a saddle arrangement for positioning on the back of said animal and a girth assembly for securing the saddle arrangement on the animal, and a compartment assembly located on top of the seat portion of the saddle, wherein the compartment assembly includes an inner space adapted to receive and fixedly hold therein at least one removable weight assembly.

A safety cinch for use with a saddle. The safety cinch includes a first layer of material and a securing device connectable to a saddle connector. The safety cinch also includes a latch apparatus that can selectively engage the securing device and a wireless receiver that can send a signal to the latch apparatus to disengage from the securing device to unsecure a saddle from an animal. A method of dislodging a saddle from a horse via a remote control via the step of actuating the remote control to activate the safety cinch.

A belt cover for attaching to a horse The belt cover including at least (1) an electrode for detecting a bioelectric signal by contacting with the surface of a body of the horse, (2) an electric wiring, and (3) a connector for connecting with the electric wiring through a part for connecting with the connector and the electric wiring. Each of the electrode and the electric wiring includes a stretchable conductor having a conductive particle including a silver particle and a binder resin. The stretchable conductor of the electrode and the electric wiring has a sheet resistance of 0.1Ω.sub.□ or less, an insulating layer is laminated on the electric wiring, and the electrode and the electric wiring are integrally formed without joints.

A shock reducing buckle or strap assembly for girths and cinches includes an elastic portion in parallel with an inelastic portion. In a non-stretched, neutral position, the elastic portion is shorter than the inelastic portion by a predetermined amount. The assembly may be stretched up to the predetermined amount by overcoming the force of the elastic portion. Upon stretching the assembly by the predetermined amount, the inelastic portion comes in to play and prevents further stretching. A cinch or girth attached to a saddle utilizing the assembly holds the saddle snuggly while still allowing a predetermined amount of “give” or flexibility for comfort of the horse, expansion of the horse's chest during breathing, and reducing shock upon roping a steer or calf. The elastic flexibility is limited and has a “hard stop” limit whereupon the inelastic portion prevents any further stretching. The elastic strap is thus prevented from breaking.
