Pivo Equestrian Launches New Pivo Arena App
August 11, 2026
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Introducing Arena
This is your arena. Free from the first stride. Better with every one after.
[SAN JOSE, CA. August, 2026] – We’re excited to announce the launch of
Arena, our free training platform built for riders and coaches at every level,
from first lessons to top competition prep. With Pocket Mode, you can start a
session with nothing but your phone in your pocket — no camera to set up, no
one standing at the rail — and get GPS tracking, route, and gait data
automatically while you ride.
Riders have long had to piece together their training across separate tools:
one app for logging rides, another for GPS, a text thread for coach feedback, a
camera roll for the moments worth keeping. We built Arena because every tool
for capturing, recording, and connecting a ride belongs in one place. Arena
starts with recording and GPS tracking, but it doesn’t stop there. It’s an
ecosystem riders can customize around their own discipline, their own horse,
and their own goals.
What Arena does
Free from the first stride. Every rider gets recording, timeline, journaling, and
coach connection at no cost, with no hardware required.
Pocket Mode. GPS tracking captures route, pace, and gait estimates hands-
free, with arena overlays for flatwork, dressage tests, and jump courses.
Locked-on tracking. Our tracking engine keeps horse and rider centered
through every stride, turn, and transition, whether you’re schooling at home or
at a show.
Pose analysis and annotation. Riders and coaches can mark up every ride
frame by frame, reviewing position, form, and progress the way a trainer would
from the rail. Take your riding farther by understanding every moment in the
saddle.
Virtual video lessons. Bring a coach into any session from anywhere, live,
with two-way audio and remote camera control, so distance is never the
reason a lesson gets missed. This global connection to trainers allows for
success like never before, world class trainers can now be in your backyard
on your schedule.
Gigapixel. Turn a single video frame into a high-resolution photo, so the
perfect oxer, the extension at the canter, or the quiet moment at the gate is
captured in perfect definition.
Your journal, built in. Arena becomes the rider’s journal, connecting notes,
rides, and improvements from one session to the next. Through our global
arena of trainers, riders can connect with coaches who fit their discipline and
their goals, wherever they’re based.
Availability
Arena is available now as a free download on the App Store and Google Play.
