Stays with your horse

Pivo turns smoothly to follow one horse and rider around the arena.

Pivo locks on to my horse and kept up with all our twists and turns!

Crystine Hoge, Pivo Pod

See your progress

Review clear videos to spot mistakes, adjust your riding and see changes over time.

It’s so helpful watching back and being able to see exactly what I’m doing and how this affects my boy

Jocelyn Cattini, Pivo Pod

Easy setup and use

Get your phone mounted and recording in minutes with clear prompts and simple controls.

Setup was super simple, and the tracking works really well even when I move around the arena.

Niharika Dubey, Pivo Max

Ride and film solo

Record full schooling sessions without asking friends or family to hold the camera.

So happy to not have to drag my husband out to film my training rides

Once you get everything paired and tracking this product is great! However, the smartphone holder is not necessary- and doesn’t fit in the case. I have an iPhone 12 and the Pivo works better without the the Smartphone adapter. I also bought the tripod which is pretty sturdy and easy to use. I wish the tripod came with a travel bag!

I bought this as an early birthday present for my wife and she has been thrilled. The tracking is really impressive! Really cool product!

So far so good

So far so good. I've only used it twice. One it didn't track quite as good. Wondering if it was user error. It was pretty easy to set up and use.

I have only been able to use it a few times so far I am enjoying it. Remote may be having some issues but not sure yet. Would like to see better instructions come with it.

I have been snowed in so I haven’t had a chance to use it

I have been snowed in so I haven’t had a chance to use it. But I have noticed there isn’t many western disciplines for coaches.

The Pivo Pod was easy to set up

The Pivo Pod was easy to set up. Turned on the app, paired it with my phone, followed the prompts and next thing I knew, it was tracking my horse. It worked just as it should!
