Estride Connect is the official companion app for the Estride family of equine sensors — Harmony pressure mat, Steady wristbands, Precision four-leg tracker and Stance lumbar sensor — and a phone-only Care Kit of vet, training and yard tools that works on every install. You do not need an Estride sensor to use the Care Kit. Install the app, sign in, and the toolkit is yours. WHAT'S IN 4.0 A complete rebuild. Every product page is faster, smoother and consistent across iPhone and iPad. LIVE CLOUDDOOR Stream your session in real time to a coach, vet, or family member on another phone. They open the matching Receive screen and mirror your live data frame by frame — pressure heatmap, posture score, peak impact per hoof. Every metric you see, they see. PRODUCT DASHBOARDS (require an Estride sensor) Harmony — live pressure heatmap, hot-spot map, fit-score reports. Steady — left-vs-right hand consistency, sparkline, alert log. Precision — per-hoof packet hero, lameness card, footfall timeline. Stance — posture compass, time-in-zone, fall detection with alerts. LIVE DEMOS Tap the See Harmony live (or Steady, Precision, Stance) pill on each sensor's start screen to run a simulated session with realistic data. See exactly what the live ride looks like before you ever pair a sensor. THE CARE KIT — INCLUDED Twenty-one phone-only horsemanship tools, organised by what they're for. Sensor not required.
