I had all Sasha's training rides and competitions in Garmin Connect. I always put the horse's name in the name of the activity, so it was an easy matter to get a list of all her rides. Then I downloaded each activity from Garmin Connect to then import into SportTracks. That was the most time consuming, but well worth the effort.
So here are her stats:
First up is a breakdown of her 619 miles under saddle by speed. How many miles she walked, trotted, cantered.
Walk: 119 miles - 19.26%
Trot: 459 miles - 74.12%
Canter: 32.8 miles - 5.29%
And the breakdown by time:
Walk: 43:19:33 - 32.53%
Trot: 71:24:23 - 53.61%
Canter: 2:56:46 - 2.21%
Average Speed
Walk: 2.75 mph
Trot: 6.43 mph
Canter: 11.1 mph
Where
Stopped: < 1.5 mph
Walk: 1.5 - 3.5 mph
Trot*: 3.5 - 10 mph
Canter: 10+ mph
*Trot as I've defined it here will include some fast walking and jigging, but I didn't want to add too many slices to the pie. I wanted a quick and dirty look at how Sasha's training over the last year has progressed.
This includes all training rides, 2 50 mile endurance rides, 1 30 mile LD and 3 25 mile LDs. All miles were on trail or road riding. Arena/round pen work and "pasture runs" were left out.
