The Hylofit system tracks both horse and rider heart rates with real-time feedback, post-ride insights, overall well-being observations, zone training, sharing and video features, weather impact features and much more. Riders can access this all in real-time thanks to an app that is available for iOS (including iWatch) and Android devices.
“Eventers build a significant bond with their horses through hours spent together preparing for the rigors of competition, both in and out of the saddle. Hylofit, an innovative wireless heart rate tracking system, allows riders to delve a layer deeper into understanding their horse’s response to training and to quantify fitness level,” said Hylofit co-founder Kate McGuinn.
“It also provides insights into other indications of heart rate like stress and pain; sources that might not be apparent otherwise. Given the particular focus on conditioning and the time spent training in the saddle that the long format demands, we think Hylofit is a perfect fit for this partnership. We hope to provide classic series competitors and all eventers, beginner novice through advanced, the opportunity to “know your ride” like never before.”
