Every rider knows the difference between a ride that “feels good” and one that feels unproductive. But how do you measure that feeling? How do you ensure that every session in the saddle is purposefully building your horse’s fitness, strength, and confidence?

For too long, training plans have been based on guesswork and intuition alone. We wonder, “Was that canter set long enough to build stamina?” or “Is his trot becoming more consistent, or am I just hoping it is?” Without clear data, it’s difficult to know if you’re making real progress or simply spinning your wheels.

This uncertainty can lead to stalled progress or, worse, over-training that puts your horse at risk of injury. It’s time to replace that guesswork with objective, actionable insight.

From Schooling to Strategic Conditioning

The HorseCare app is designed to transform your smartphone into a powerful training partner. By tracking key metrics during every ride, it provides a clear, unbiased view of your horse’s workload and physical response. This allows you to move beyond simple schooling and begin a strategic conditioning program tailored to your horse’s specific needs.

Here’s how our data empowers you to train smarter:

• Quantify Your Workload with Activity Levels & Steps: Wondering if your horse is getting enough work to maintain fitness? Our app tracks the duration of each gait and the total number of steps, giving you a precise measure of effort. You can easily compare workouts, ensure consistency, and plan recovery days with confidence.
• Assess the quality of a horse’s gait by its rhythm: a balanced, rhythmic gait is the foundation of stability and good conditioning. The app analyzes the regularity of each stride, providing a clear assessment of rhythmic stability. Watch this indicator improve as your flat ground exercises and lateral movements begin to bear fruit, giving you visual confirmation of your horse’s improved balance and strength.
• Monitor Effort with Pulse Tracking (HRM): Your horse’s heart rate is the most accurate indicator of how hard their body is working. By pairing a heart rate monitor, you can see exactly which exercises elevate their pulse and how quickly they recover. This is essential for safely building cardiovascular fitness for demanding disciplines like eventing, jumping, or endurance, ensuring you never push them past their limit.

Data That Drives Decisions

With HorseCare, training data is no longer just a set of numbers; it’s the key to unlocking peak performance.

Imagine you’re an ambitious show jumper. You can use the app to see if your horse’s pulse recovers faster after a jump school compared to a month ago—a clear sign of increased fitness.

Or perhaps you’re a dressage rider focused on improving collection. You can monitor the trot consistency score to see if your half-halts and transitions are genuinely improving your horse’s balance and self-carriage.

The app logs every session, creating a detailed diary of your horse’s fitness journey. You can track trends over weeks and months, celebrate progress, and share concrete data with your coach or vet to make even more informed decisions.
