Gail, For what it's worth I ride with a GPS all the time and with my Garmin I keep it set to bike mode and for Endomondo (which is an app on the phone) I use the riding mode. Both of them are fairly

Pat, They've used GPS trackers on the New Bolton pony herd to track how far they walk in a day. I believe they just attached them to the halters but to find out for sure I would suggest you contact
