Step 2

Standing on the left side of the horse, place the belt over the horse’s withers and secure the slide closure. Adjust the tightness of the belt to ensure that it is snug against the horse’s barrel.

Step 3

Rotate the belt so the transmitter is about two-thirds down the horse’s barrel.

Note: Most horses will be comfortable with the slide closure below the elbow, but you may need to adjust its placement based on the horse’s conformation.
