Horse Riding Tracker

Needs a Wear OS watch. The phone app is only the bridge to Health Connect.

Horse Riding Tracker splits your ride into halt, walk, trot and canter by itself: the minutes and kilometres of each gait, every canter counted, and in the arena your work on the left and the right rein.

Use this tracker for your rides in the arena and out on the trail, also on watches without a riding profile of their own. Want it customized? Feel free to contact us.

Features:
- Two places: arena and trail; the app remembers your last choice
- Halt, walk, trot and canter found from the movement of your wrist: no button to press when the gait changes
- Every canter counted, the longest one kept
- Rein balance in the arena: trot and canter on the left and on the right rein, found from your turns, so you see whether both sides got the same work. Only on watches with a gyroscope (nearly every Wear OS watch has one); without one the arena shows no rein
- Trail: distance, the kilometres at trot and at canter, and your top speed (GPS)
- Up to five horses named in the settings, picked before the ride
- Ride history on the watch: your last rides with their gaits
- Page 1: minutes per gait or per rein, the current gait marked, the ride's time big; page 2: heart rate, calories, canters, and the longest canter or your speed
- Saved screen: total time with walk, trot, canter and halt, the canters and the longest one; on the trail distances and top speed, in the arena the share per rein
- No tap starts or stops a recording: press the side button or hold the screen for a second, so a glove does not end it by accident; while recording the back button does nothing
- Speed and distance in metric or imperial units
- Each saved ride goes to Health Connect on your phone through the companion app, with the minutes per gait in its notes and, on the trail, the distance
- The phone app can share the GPS track of a trail ride as a GPX file with an app you choose
- Average and maximum heart rate in the history
- Available in 28 languages

Settings on the watch: up to five horse names, battery saver (GPS every 2 s), clearing the ride history, the signals and the units.

How to use:
1. Choose Arena or Trail (and your horse, once two or more are named): a tap selects, the green arrow button (or the side button) goes on
2. On the trail wait until the ring turns green (GPS); then press the side button or hold the screen for a second
3. Swipe up or down for the second page
4. Stop the same way you started; choose Continue, Save or Discard

Settings and History: the "⋯" at the bottom of the first screen.

Works on the watch alone: your rides stay on this watch. A small companion app for the phone comes with it. It writes each saved ride to Health Connect on your phone and does nothing else: as a workout named Horse Riding Tracker, with the distance on the trail and the calories. It is optional: the watch app works on its own, and neither app uses an internet connection. Your heart rate curve goes to Health Connect too. No ads, no subscription, no account.
