Getting your horse fit isn’t just about working harder, it’s about working smarter. Whether you’re bringing a horse back into work, prepping for a competition, or improving general condition, having a clear plan and tracking progress is key.
That’s where the Equestic SaddleClip comes in. It’s a smart equestrian tracker that helps you monitor your horse’s training over time, so you can build fitness gradually, spot signs of imbalance, and support long-term welfare.
Why Fitness Matters for Every Horse
Improved horse fitness supports:
- Muscular development and topline
- Joint and tendon resilience
- Cardio strength and stamina
- Better rideability and focus
But pushing too hard too soon can lead to injury or fatigue. Equally, not doing enough consistent work slows progress. Tracking ensures the right balance.
What the Equestic SaddleClip Tracks
The SaddleClip gives insight into:
- Time spent in each gait (walk, trot, canter)
- Session duration and rhythm
- Type of work (e.g., symmetry, rein usage, transitions)
- Workload progression over weeks
This data helps you tailor your plan and adjust before problems arise.
Planning a Fitness Routine with Data
Use SaddleClip insights to:
- Gradually increase session length or intensity
- Alternate between strength-building and low-impact days
- Monitor if you’re achieving consistent, structured work
- Adapt for weather, recovery needs, or behavioural changes
Spotting Fatigue Before It Shows
The SaddleClip also helps identify early signs of overload, such as:
- Reduced symmetry
- Shorter strides or loss of rhythm
- Less time spent in forward gaits
This helps you adjust before your horse becomes sore, tired, or demotivated.
Building Confidence in Your Plan
Whether you’re hacking, schooling, or prepping for the season, having data gives you peace of mind. You’ll know your horse is getting fitter—not just being ridden.
With the Equestic SaddleClip, you can support fitness with consistency and insight, giving your horse the best chance to stay sound, strong, and happy.
