Long gone are the days of timing your training intervals on a watch or scribbling your show entries down the paper. If the modern days have brought anything of value, it is the chance to improve your training and competition experience; and we are ecstatic to be bringing you just that. Having teamed up with Horse Spot, you are in for a technological treat that enhances the whole process from saddling up to winning your round.

It all starts at home before you even get on your horse. First, you set yourself up with a background of data: your horse’s feed dosages that will help with calorie management in the training process. The second essential step before you get on and ride? Your plan! Design, mark, use different emojis for different events, share with the people in your EQUIMO app team - do it all.

Now you’re ready to ride! Whether you opt for riding with the tracker, or a full experience including the heart rate monitor, each step you take will be fully analyzed, bringing you all the information you need on your way to improvement, such as tempo, intensity, balance, and much more. Using your analyses as an every-day feedback tool is a great way to move forward and fine-tune the details.

At this point, you know how your horse is doing and which shows you can apply for. This is where the Horse Spot comes in. With their improved search engine,  you can quickly scroll through the list of shows that tick your boxes. Once you choose what event fits you and your horse, their website takes care of the rest. No more searching for schedules, checking for possible time changes, or getting lost around the show grounds trying to find your ring. They have it all!

Right now, the HorseSpot team is doing the final testing of their Live Scoring – which will allow riders to see horses on a course in real time. Combine it with EQUIMO’s live tracking, and your trainer gets a full picture without even being present!  Once your round is finished, your results are to be found on Horse Spot as well.

We have teamed up with a company that truly enhances the whole experience – from training to winning – hoping to make life easier for our users. So what do you think? Will you give this combination a try, or are you a stickler for the old pen and paper?
