If you’ve been using Pivo Track to film your rides hands-free, you already know how useful it is to set up your Pivo, get on your horse, and let the camera follow you.
Now your Pivo experience goes much further. Pivo Arena is the next step for equestrian training, bringing your videos, lessons, notes, ride data, horses, coaches, and progress together in one place.
Instead of finishing a ride with another video sitting in your camera roll, Arena turns that ride into part of an ongoing training story. Your Pivo can still help you capture the ride. Arena helps you understand what happened next.
What is the difference between Pivo Track and Pivo Arena?
Pivo Track has focused on hands-free filming with only the Pivo Pod, whereas Pivo Arena expands that experience into a complete equestrian training platform where riders can capture videos with Pivo Pod or use it without the Pod to upload rides, review videos, compare sessions, analyze rider position, record lessons, create transcripts and AI summaries, track GPS routes and data, journal, organize horse profiles, and follow progress over time.
You Already Know How to Capture the Ride. Now Do More With It. For years, Pivo has helped riders solve one of the biggest problems in equestrian training:
How do I film myself riding when nobody is there to hold the camera?
With a Pivo Pod and AI Horse Tracking, your smartphone can follow horse and rider automatically while you train. Features such as Horse Tracking and Auto Zoom help keep you in frame as you move around the arena. That part of the Pivo experience remains important. But filming is only the beginning.
Once the ride ends, the questions usually start:
-
What actually improved?
-
What did my coach tell me last lesson?
-
Was my position different this week?
-
How did this ride compare with the last one?
-
Where is that video from three months ago?
-
How much have I actually progressed?
That is where Pivo Arena comes in. Arena is built specifically around the entire equestrian training journey, not just recording it. Pivo Track Helped You Record. Pivo Arena Helps You Train. Think of the change this way: Pivo Track: Capture the ride.
Pivo Arena: Capture it. Review it. Understand it. Organize it. Compare it. Learn from it. Build on it.
Arena brings training sessions, lessons, GPS activities, uploaded videos, notes, horses, coaches, and riding history into one connected platform. Your ride no longer ends when you press stop. It becomes something you can come back to.
What Can I Still Do With My Pivo?
The hands-free filming experience that made Pivo useful to equestrians remains central to the Pivo ecosystem.
Hands-Free Horse Tracking
Set up your compatible Pivo Pod with your smartphone and let Pivo automatically follow horse and rider while you train. This gives solo riders a practical way to capture full schooling sessions without needing someone behind the camera.
Auto Zoom
Pivo’s Auto Zoom can adjust framing as your horse moves farther from or closer to the camera, helping keep your riding visible throughout the session.
Remote Coaching
Pivo’s equestrian ecosystem also supports remote lessons, combining video communication with automatic tracking so a coach can watch while the rider moves around the arena.
But now, rather than thinking only about what happens during recording, Arena is designed around what happens before, during, and after every ride.
1. One Timeline for Your Entire Riding History
A camera roll is a collection of videos. A riding timeline is a training history.
Pivo Arena organizes training sessions, lessons, GPS activities, and uploaded videos chronologically so you can see your riding journey developing over time.
Instead of: IMG_4821.mov,you see the ride in context. Which horse did you ride? Was it a lesson or schooling session? What did you work on? What happened before and after it? Over time, those individual rides start telling a story.
2. Upload Videos You Already Have
Your riding history does not have to start on the day you download Arena. You can upload videos already stored on your phone and add them to your Arena training history. That means videos filmed previously with Pivo, or even videos someone else recorded for you, can become part of the same timeline. Your old rides don't have to stay buried in your camera roll.
3. Review Your Videos Instead of Just Watching Them
Watching a riding video once is useful. Studying it is different. Pivo Arena is designed to turn video into a review tool, allowing riders to revisit sessions in greater detail. Arena includes video review functionality and supports deeper analysis of each ride. Depending on your Arena plan and available features, review tools can include:
-
Slow-motion playback
-
Double-speed playback
-
Frame-by-frame review
-
Video annotations
-
Session details
-
Sharing
-
Side-by-side comparison
-
Pose feedback
The goal is simple: Don't just replay the ride. Learn from it.
4. Compare Two Rides Side by Side
Some changes are almost impossible to feel from the saddle. A slightly steadier lower leg. A better approach. More consistent rhythm. A different upper-body position. An improved transition. Arena's Compare feature lets you place two riding sessions side by side so you can evaluate changes between them more clearly. You can compare different rides, or use video comparison to examine different moments and understand what changed. Progress becomes much easier to recognize when yesterday and today are sitting next to each other.
5. See Your Position With Pose Analysis
Sometimes a ride feels completely different from how it looks. Arena's Pose Analysis helps riders review position and movement, including rider posture and joint-angle information in supported plans. That can help make questions such as these easier to explore: Is my shoulder staying over my hip? Is my lower leg moving? Am I collapsing through one side? Has my position changed between rides? Arena gives you another perspective beyond feel alone.
6. Annotate the Exact Moment You Want to Discuss
A coach saying, “Your position changed there,” is useful. Seeing exactly where “there” is can be much more useful. Pivo's annotation tools allow visual feedback to be added directly to riding video, including lines, highlights, comments, and marked moments. That means feedback can become visual rather than abstract. Circle the leg. Draw the line. Mark the transition. Highlight the approach. Return to it before your next ride.
7. Record In-Person Lessons — Even Without Video
Not every valuable lesson needs to be filmed. With Arena's Audio Lessons feature, you can record an in-person lesson and keep the coaching conversation as part of your training history. Arena can create a transcript and AI-generated summary of the recorded lesson, helping you revisit what your trainer said later instead of trying to remember everything while riding. Think about how many times you've finished a lesson remembering: “Outside rein.”, “Sit taller.”, “Wait longer.”…and forget the other twenty things your trainer said. Now the lesson can stay with you.
8. Keep a Riding Journal Beside Your Training
Data tells part of the story. Your own experience tells the rest. Arena lets riders keep personal notes associated with training sessions. You might write: What felt good? The canter finally felt balanced. What needs work? I lose my outside shoulder in the right turn. What should I remember next time? Don't rush the transition. A few sentences after every ride can become incredibly valuable months later.
9. Ride With Your Phone in Your Pocket
Not every ride needs a camera. Arena's Pocket Mode allows riders to capture GPS, route, and gait information while riding with their phone in their pocket. That means Arena can still document a ride when you don't set up your Pivo Pod. Depending on the ride and available data, you can build a clearer picture using information such as:
-
Route
-
Distance
-
Ride duration
-
Speed
-
Gait information
The result is a broader training history, not only the rides you happened to film.
10. Give Every Horse Their Own Story
Most riders don't think about training as one endless stream. We think in horses. The green horse. The schoolmaster. The new project. The horse preparing for championships.
Arena supports horse profiles so training activities can be connected to the horse they belong to. Each horse can have its own profile, activity timeline, information, and training history. Instead of asking: “Where was that video?” you can ask: “How has this horse changed?” That is a much more useful question.
11. Keep Your Coach Connected to the Journey
Training rarely happens alone. Arena is designed to connect riders, horses, coaches, and teams around the same riding history. The platform includes coach connections, coaching functionality, team connections, and access to the Pivo Coach Directory.
That means your training can become less fragmented. Ride. Review. Get feedback. Apply it. Ride again.Pivo Arena Is More Than a New Recording App. This distinction matters. Pivo Arena isn't simply Pivo Track with a new name.
Pivo Track helped establish the hands-free filming experience equestrians know from Pivo, including AI Auto Tracking, Horse Tracking, Auto Zoom, and remote lesson functionality.
Arena takes the next step. It is designed as a complete equestrian training platform where the ride itself becomes the starting point rather than the finish line. Pivo describes Arena as a digital training platform built specifically for equestrians, combining capture, review, training history, horses, coaches, GPS activities, lessons, and analysis.
That changes what Pivo can mean in your training.
Before: Set up Pivo → Record → Watch video
Now: Capture → Review → Compare → Analyze → Journal → Get feedback → Track progress → Ride again
Why Move From Pivo Track to Pivo Arena?
Because your riding deserves more than a folder full of videos. Every ride contains information. Every lesson contains feedback. Every horse has a history. Every season contains progress that is hard to recognize while you're living through it. Pivo Arena brings those pieces together so your training becomes something you can actually follow. Your videos become part of a timeline. Your lessons become searchable memories. Your feedback stays attached to the ride. Your horses get their own histories. Your progress becomes visible. And the Pivo you already use becomes part of a much larger training experience.
Your Pivo Is Still Your Cameraperson. Arena Is Your Training Home.
The reason riders started using Pivo hasn't changed. You still want to ride without asking someone to stand at the rail holding your phone. You still want the freedom to train alone. You still want to see what your ride actually looked like. But now you can do much more with everything you capture. Pivo records the ride. Arena helps you make the ride count. If you're already riding with Pivo, your next step is simple:
Download Pivo Arena and start building your complete riding history.
Every ride. Every lesson. Every horse. Every step forward. All in your Arena.
