Easy-to-use tail wrap and sensor gives riders and trainers insights into their horse's health and fitness
OLATHE, Kan., Aug. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Garmin (NYSE:GRMN) today announced the Blaze™ equine wellness system, a tail wrap and sensor specifically designed to help riders, horse owners and trainers monitor their horse's health and fitness so they can make more informed decisions about their well-being and training.
Garmin is a world leader in the health and fitness industry, and we are excited to bring our advanced sensor data and technology to the equine market with the introduction of Blaze. Whether you're eventing, racing, jumping or anything in between, this new system will help you monitor your horse's health to keep them performing at their best."
—Susan Lyman, Garmin Vice President of Consumer Sales and Marketing
Designed for horses
The Blaze equine wellness system features a durable and washable neoprene wrap with easily adjustable straps, while the removable, rechargeable and lightweight sensor monitors the horse's health and motion using advanced algorithms. The wrap easily attaches and holds the sensor to the underside of the horse's tail—no special skin preparation needed.
See what they can't tell you
Riders can better track their horse's health and fitness when using both the Blaze equine wellness system and the Blaze app1.

- Skin temperature: View average skin temperature changes, which can be related to activity, environment or potential illness.
- Post-activity data: Review post-activity details, including recovery rate, time in heart rate zones, skin temperature and activity highlights.
- Track multiple horses: Create individual horse profiles so the wrap and sensor can be used on multiple horses.
- Heat Score: Receive guidance on how safe it is to ride at any time with a heat score that takes into account the current air temperature and humidity.
- Data on the wrist: Track training, recovery and transport activities at a glance when using the Blaze Connect IQ app on a compatible Garmin smartwatch.
