## What is Saddle?

Saddle is the app for barns — a private home base for your riding community.

BARNS
Create a barn for your stable and invite the people who ride there. Everything in Saddle is organized around the barn: members, horses, events, and photos stay within your barn's circle.

HORSES
Give every horse a profile with photos, notes, blanket setups, and documents like vet records and registrations — all shared with the people who care for them.

RIDE TRACKING
Record your rides with GPS. Saddle maps your route, tracks distance, duration, and speed, and automatically detects gaits — walk, trot, canter — so you can review every ride in detail. Works offline: rides sync when you're back in signal.

TRAILS
Share your favorite routes with your barn. Barn members can follow a shared trail turn by turn on their next ride.

EVENTS
Plan lessons, trail rides, clinics, and barn gatherings with a shared calendar. RSVP, see who's coming, and relive group rides with post-ride recaps.

PHOTOS
A shared gallery for every barn. Post photos from the trail or the arena and keep memories in one place.

RIDE SAFETY
Optional check-ins share your live location with trusted safety contacts while you ride — and only while you ride.

WEATHER
Rider-focused forecasts help you pick the best window for a ride, with blanket guidance for changing conditions.

SADDLE PRO
Upgrade for premium maps and offline map packs, the route editor, and more. Subscriptions renew monthly or annually; manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No ads. No tracking SDKs. Your barn's data is never sold, shared, or mined. Barns stay off the map unless you choose to list them.

Saddle is offline-first: the app works at the barn even when the signal doesn't. Changes sync automatically when you're reconnected.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.7.1 — 2026-11-07

Rides
• Laps in the arena are now marked as ring sections on the ride. You can adjust a section, snap it to the gate, and replay just that part of the ride.
• Trimming a recording is now free for everyone, and the trim screen shows the whole recording.
• The ride page has been redesigned. Your numbers read at a glance, and you change the name, horse, notes and recording options by pulling the sheet all the way up.
• When you finish a ride, it opens straight to its page.
• Switch between Map and Satellite with one tap on the Ride tab and on every ride.

Ride Safety
• The Ride Safety page now shows your safety group as a ring of people, with who's riding, who's late and who's asking to join.
• When you start a ride with a late alert, Saddle asks how long you'll be out. If you're following a route, your group can see the planned route and how far along you are.
• If you have no signal when you start, your alert begins as soon as your phone reconnects.
• A clearer picture shows what each sharing choice tells your group.

Blankets
• The Blankets home shows where your horse lives, and each period opens to show the reasoning behind its pick.
• Clearer settings for liners and for blankets worn only in the wet.
• An improved 5-day outlook.
• Neck covers and hoods now go with every blanket by default.

Barns, events and notifications
• Notifications open as a full page, and join requests are answered on their own page.

Account
