Improve your rider performance with Balios

We talk a lot about smart health connected objects intended for our animal friends, especially for cats and dogs. However, they are not the only ones affected by this wave of devices. The proof is with Balios, the first device designed to improve the performance of the rider and ensure the well-being of his horse.

How do you know if your training has been effective and that your horse has not suffered during it? To answer these questions, the Balios sensor was created by the startup Equisense, born following the meeting of three engineers and competition riders. The device simply attaches to the strap and transmits to the phone via Bluetooth 4.0 precise data during training so that riders can measure their progress and be informed of the level of well-being of their horse. Balios lights up alone at the start of each workout.

Share your data with your coach and veterinarian

During this one, he will notably analyze work intensity, the quality of the locomotion, the time that the rider spends at each pace, each hand, etc. As the sessions progress, a training history will be created, as well as that of the state of form of its mount. An interesting point to note with the device, the possibility of sharing all the data collected with his coach, the veterinarian and in some cases, with other people also riding the horse.

The sensor, which adapts to all types of straps, is smart health connected to a free smartphone application in Bluetooth, compatible with iOS and Android. This will, for example, warn the rider so that he remains vigilant in the event of lameness. A problem that Balios should be able to recognize if it ever detects an asymmetry of locomotion.

Even more precise data with the premium version

A premium version will also be offered, to meet the expectations of riders looking for more technicality. In this case, the owner of the horse will benefit from the analysis of the tracks made, the cadence of the horse, stride range, speed, course and jump trajectory, etc.

The sensor should have a eight hour battery life and operate even without connection, and should be resistant to water and impact, an essential point for it to be useful in this discipline. If Balios is not yet on the market, Equisense website announces that the sensor will start a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter on November 4.
