Breakdown of Key Components Custom Horse Profiles: iRide will create up to 5 individual, Custom Horse Profiles based on information from the user regarding the horse’s age, breed, current fitness and training levels, desired level of conditioning as well as number of rides per week. Based on this information, iRide creates a custom conditioning regimen, recommending exercises to build the best event horse possible. Condition Tracker: iRide analyzes and interprets the data collected from each Custom Horse Profile, and displays data into easy to understand information and graphs. Graphs convey data such as number of conditioning sessions per week, distance traveled per ride, approximate calories consumed in each session, average speed of walk/trot/canter, etc. iRide shows a clear progression through numbers, allowing riders to improve more rapidly and to target other areas still needing attention.
