Garmin has announced the release of the Blaze^™ equine wellness system. Consisting of a tail wrap and sensor, it is designed to help riders, horse owners and trainers monitor equine health and fitness. This, in turn, can help them make more informed decisions about their horses’ well-being and training.

“Garmin is a world leader in the health and fitness industry, and we are excited to bring our advanced sensor data and technology to the equine market with the introduction of Blaze,” says Susan Lyman, Garmin vice president of consumer sales and marketing. “Whether you’re eventing, racing, jumping or anything in between, this new system will help you monitor your horse’s health to keep them performing at their best.”

Designed for horses

The Blaze equine wellness system features a durable and washable neoprene wrap with easily adjustable straps. The removable, rechargeable and lightweight sensor monitors the horse’s health and motion using advanced algorithms. The wrap easily attaches and holds the sensor to the underside of the horse’s tail. No special skin preparation is needed.

Riders can better track their horse’s health and fitness when using both the Blaze equine wellness system and the Blaze app. The latter requires a connection with BLUETOOTH^® technology.

Features

• Real-time insights: View heart rate, strides, gait, distance and more. In addition to seeing these insights in the Blaze app on a smartphone, they can be viewed using the Blaze Connect IQ^™ app on a compatible Garmin smartwatch.
• Skin temperature: View average skin temperature changes, which can be related to activity, environment or potential illness.
• Post-activity data: Review post-activity details, including recovery rate, time in heart rate zones, skin temperature and activity highlights.
• Track multiple horses: Create individual horse profiles so the wrap and sensor can be used on multiple horses.
• Heat Score: Receive guidance on how safe it is to ride at any time with a heat score. This takes into account the current air temperature and humidity.
• Data on the wrist: Track training, recovery and transport activities at a glance when using the Blaze Connect IQ app on a compatible Garmin smartwatch.

The sensor features up to 25 hours of battery life. It can be easily removed from the wrap for cleaning and charging. The Blaze equine wellness system is available now for $599.99.
