Horseback Riding (Equestrian Sports) Isn’t Tracked Correctly on Strava

Strava really needs to add equestrian sports as “Sport”.

Right now we have to log rides as “Workout” or “Other,” even though Strava is already tracking distance, time, elevation, and GPS. The problem is it’s not categorized correctly, so the data isn’t that useful, and even workouts aren’t being tracked or represented accurately.

There are a ton of riders already using Strava (trail riding, endurance, training, even disciplines like dressage and barrel racing) so it feels like a pretty obvious gap.

If they added equestrian as a sport, it would instantly make the app way more useful for us without them having to build anything new.

If you agree, submit a feature request too!! The more people ask, the more likely it actually happens.
