## What is Equilab?

Start tracking your rides with the world’s leading app for equestrians. Equilab lets you track the distance, speed, gaits, and turns of your sessions — all using your smartphone (or Apple Watch). Then, review your data over time to see how you and your horse have progressed!

It also keeps you safe while riding alone by letting family and friends track your live location, so that they always know where you are. Download the app to join the world’s largest equestrian community, with over 1 million users!

With Equilab, you can effortless track each session simply by taking your iPhone and/or Apple Watch with you when you ride. Our advanced gait analysis technology provides insights so that you and your horse(s) can continue to grow. (Equilab's Premium subscription allows users to track rides with just their standalone Apple Watch.)

For those who ride alone and/or out in nature, Equilab helps you discover new trails and stay safe. By adding Safety Contacts in the app, you can ensure that your loved ones can always see where you are. They will also receive an alert if you stop moving for 5+ minutes. 

You can use Equilab to:
1. Track every ride — use your phone or compatible Apple Watch when you ride to analyze your gait, distance, time, and more.
2. Stay safe — enable family and friends to track your location while riding so that they always know where you are. (Premium feature)
3. Get motivated — ride more to complete Challenges and earn achievements that help you and your friends grow as equestrians.
4. Celebrate progress — show off your growth as an equestrian and celebrate your friends as they grow, too.
5. Connect with other equestrians — chat with riders in your community or across the world
6. Organize your life — plan your routines and coordinate trainers, vets, or co-riders with Equilab's shared calendars and groups.
7. Monitor your health — Equilab integrates with Apple’s HealthKit so that you can understand how your training impacts your fitness.

Equilab also helps simplify your equestrian life. Easily join groups and connect with friends, trainers, vets, farriers, and more to share rides, schedules, and other important information. As the largest community of equestrians in the world, Equilab makes coordinating with others easy. Our app is used by equestrians of all levels, from Olympic riders to weekend hobby riders. They ride and train in over 50 countries across 6 continents. We empower all riders - so no matter your level, Equilab can help you grow as an equestrian.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2026-08-01, version 5.260727.6777*

I honestly love this app it’s good for all equestrians of any kind at first I was having some troubles with the timing of it but now it’s seemed to change I totally recommend it for everyone out there

### 3/5 — Since update no more free tracking

*2026-07-29, version 5.260720.6766*

I was really enjoying this app to track my trail riding a couple times a month. The tracking was free with limited stats. Since the update, it no longer allows tracking at all without premium and it deleted one of my horses.

### 3/5 — Almost

*2026-07-26, version 5.260720.6766*

I got this app to track my rides from my Apple Watch because it has a Watch app companion. BUT, it is not particularly useful in that it doesn’t track much, such as the gait you were riding where; it has hardly any data. I leave my phone behind as I have a cellular plan for my watch for emergency calls and don’t want to carry my phone. Pls let me know when the watch app gains usable functionality.

### 5/5 — Amazing app for horse girls

*2026-06-21, version 5.260605.6710*

I use this for real horses, especially my high performance, broodmare Hobbiyah. This app even tracks when I ride her in my house

### 2/5 — Subscription

*2026-06-07, version 5.260531.6706*

I have purchased a yearly subscription and it says I’m at my free limit. I’ve tried to rectify it. But it won’t let me. Beware.

### 3/5 — had so much potential but not accurate

*2026-05-18, version 5.260511.6682*

I write a lot, especially on trails. This app looks like a lifesaver, and I had so many good reviews, I was so excited. I really love how specific it is, the way it provides gaits and all that. I just found it very inaccurate. I could draw it for a mile, then look at the ride tracker and it would say that 80% if it was walking with some canter mixed in. what kind of horse walks 6 miles an hour? (the current speed thing said I was going 6 miles an hour). Anyway, I had so much potential! Definitely try it, I don’t know if it’ll be better

### 3/5 — please fix

*2026-05-15, version 5.260511.6682*

i open my camera take a picture have music going then “ your fire was interrupted” go to get it back and it’s all gone.

### 2/5 — Great until you have to pay

*2026-04-15, version 5.260410.6637*

I used Equilab for years. Stopped riding for a bit and tried it again for the first time since 2022. It has allot of great features, if you pay for them. I used to be to see things like speed and tempo. Nope, those are locked and the price is ridiculous.

### 2/5 — Eh

*2026-03-30, version 5.260317.6619*

I love the idea of this app I think it will be great, the only thing I dislike is that all I get is premium ads that I don’t want I’m never going to get premium so stop asking me I hate it. I don’t want to see it

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-03-12, version 5.260303.6608*

Love the challenges they really motivate me to ride to push myself. Also love the tracking feature which means when hacking alone somebody knows where I am. My only wish with the app is that there were more opportunities to win things etc like the special badges and to create a kind of ride satnav which helps highlight bridle paths and rights of way for riding to help see routes or plan new routes it would also be interesting to have a feature to report any issues a bit like the Waze app such as a blocked bridleway.
