Can I use my girth if I don’t have a network or 3G/4G access ?

The saddle works using a Bluetooth system, which does not require any 3G, 4G or cellular network connection. The saddle can, therefore, be used in any environment.

Do I need to keep my phone close to the saddle in order to maintain the connection ?

We have taken care to take this constraint into account, especially when the rider is using the saddle at shows where the ground covered is often vast and the connection is not straightforward.

The saddle only needs to be launched using the smartphone app to start taking measurements. It must, therefore, be within a maximum radius of about 50 metres when it is launched. As soon as the saddle sensor is activated, it is completely autonomous and can go outside the Bluetooth range with no problem.

What is the process for recharging my saddle ?

The saddle is recharged like any other electronic device, it has a box inserted in the removable case which is recharged through mains electricity using a micro USB, as well as having a solar panel which saves the battery when in use.

The battery life is eight hours when being used and five weeks in standby mode.

How do I recharge my saddle ?

The box at the back of the saddle can be removed by pulling on the leather flap. Simply connect the micro USB charger to a mains socket or cigarette lighter to recharge the case. When the green LED goes out, the box is fully charged.

How do I know the battery level of my saddle ?

In the menu, click on “saddle”. A list of saddles appears. Make sure your saddle is within reach. Click on your saddle, wait a few moments and the battery level appears.

What is regularity ?

Regularity is the percentage of similar strides between two obstacles and/or over the entire course.

What is speed?

The speed parameter indicates the average speed between two obstacles in m/min.

The symmetry parameter indicates whether the withers twist and if so, in which direction as the horse’s hind legs push during take-off.

What is recovery ?

The recovery parameter indicates the number of strides required after a jump for the horse to regain a balanced canter.

Is the information provided by the saddle measured by video ?

The video serves as a visual supplement to the data recorded by the saddle, which is entirely collected by a sensor located in the pommel.

Les informations sont-elles sécurisées ?

What if I have a technical problem with the electronics or wear and tear on the leather that prevents me from using the saddle while I am renting it?
