          Girths and connected tools for equestrian sports: Seaver or Equisense what's the difference?

          Sunday, September 11, 2016

          So motivated by the desire to bring the same technological advances to equestrian sports as to other sports, Seaver set out to provide riders with health and performance monitoring tools. However, there are other connected straps or tools on the market that also want to meet this need. Today we compare Seaver 's products with those of its main competitor: Equisense

          Seaver and Equisense sensors

          At Seaver, the system is broken down into two products that can be used together to form a pack. At Equisense, they are two separate packs and one cannot be used with the other. 

          If you purchase the CEEFIT by Seaver, you will get the locomotion data. You can later add a CEEFIT Pulse & ECG which will provide you with data related to your horse's heart rate

          If you choose a Motion from Equisense, you will get the locomotion data. If you have the Motion and want to get the heart rate data, you will have to buy a whole new pack: the Motion S.

          What are the prices for these tools for monitoring the well-being and performance of the horse?

          Connected objects, trackers or straps are products that require an investment in research and development, both financially and in terms of time, which justifies a base price of around 200€

          The Seaver / Equisense comparison:

          Reliability of the analysis of your horse's data

          There are various forums or reviews for testimonials and opinions on the reliability of the data. 

          At Seaver, a scientific validation for the reliability of the heart rate has been published by two independent researchers from theUniversity of Dijon. The Fitness Shape Test, which provides information on the horse's physical condition, was developed with Véronique Billat, a French physiologist, university professor, founder and director of the Laboratory of Integrative Biology of Adaptations to Exercise.

          At Equisense, the development of their tools is mentioned on their website as having been subject to validation protocols developed by their team in collaboration with their scientific committee, as well as collaboration with leading research centers.
