I have been tracking my equestrian activities for several years on Garmin and started to load them as Workouts to Strava about a year ago. A few days ago, they stopped loading into Strava even though all my other activities (run, walk, bike) still load automatically.
I was able to load the file manually from my Garmin watch to Strava but I don't want that hassle! Has anyone else experienced this? Did a recent update block horsemanship activities from loading from Garmin to Strava???
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi All,
We have heard back from Garmin and as @marsupi96 posted above, this was due to a change in the Garmin API (application programming interface).
The Garmin Connect developer API program has been aligned to its original health and wellness intent to focus on health, wellness and primary sports (run, walk, bike, etc.) The change to non-primary sports activities such as flying, motorsports, horseback riding, RC drone, etc. means that you will need to export activities from Garmin Connect and manually upload them to Strava.
Apologies for any confusion over this. Let us know if you have additional questions.

I also think it's a shame from a security point of view. I would like to be able to use the tracking feature to alert my husband in case of a problem.

I agree! My horseriding sessions are harder than my bike rides! Clearly the people who made this decision have no idea how physical riding is.

I totally agree.
I just got off my horse.
sweating on my back and then it wasn't because of the heat 🙂

Garmin doesn’t recognize horsemanship as a sport 👎🏻

Same issue for me with "horseback riding" activity recorded with Garmin and not syncing anymore with Strava... Hope it will be fixed soon... thanks!

Hello to All who have posted about this.
We are aware that certain types of activities have stopped syncing from Garmin to Strava and we have reached out to Garmin about this. I will post an update here when I have one. Thanks for your patience.

Hi Jane,
Hi Jane,
I noticed the same. Activities recorded on my Garmin with the Garmin "horseback riding" (sport = "horseback_riding" in .fit file) activity are no longer synchronized with Strava. Other activities are synced, including an activity type I would create myself with name "Aaa" or "Horseriding" which have sport = "Generic" in the fit file. I'll create a distinct ticket as well.
