Hey! So I haven't posted in ages, but I'm still alive. Here's what's happening. Taz is working towards retirement I've started trying clicker training Working on roundness in lessons, partly because we're trying to tone down the activity so that Taz isn't overworked or injured. So yeah. Taz is approximately 26, so he's at a point where jumping isn't something that he's going to be doing much longer. My trainer has a student who's horse shopping, so she's planning to lease that student's horse and use him in lessons, so that's likely who I'll be riding soon. In the meantime, we're working on roundness and all that fun stuff, which honestly, I like just as much as jumping, so I'm okay with that. I've also started experimenting with clicker training. I've been working with Taz to get him to touch a target on command, which has honestly gone far better than I thought. I've only had one session with him, but ...
Things to know: I have a Samsung J3, and upon opening this app I got a notification that my phone didn't have all of the necessary sensors, so I ignored that and used it anyways. As a result, the information I got wasn't as accurate, so I can really only speak for app usability, not accuracy of information. The white stripe is the stable name, which I have blurred out.

I really like how it shows how much time you spent at each gait(although again, not accurate), and the little bar. The map isn't very useful for arena riding, because it all overlaps and doesn't really tell you much. This function would probably be better for trail riders. More stats! App: The first time using the app was a little confusing the first time, but it's not hard to get the hang of....
