Insights
Garmin's entry into equine health with the $599.99 Blaze system represents strategic diversification into a niche but potentially lucrative specialty market.
Garmin's launch of the Blaze equine wellness system marks a strategic expansion into the specialty animal health technology market. Priced at
The system features sophisticated health metrics tracking capabilities including heart rate monitoring, stride analysis, gait assessment, and skin temperature tracking—essentially bringing the same technology found in human fitness wearables to equine applications. By focusing on both performance metrics and health indicators, Garmin has positioned this product to appeal to multiple segments within the equine market: competitive riders, trainers, veterinarians, and recreational horse owners.
What makes this product notable is how it integrates into Garmin's existing ecosystem via the Connect IQ platform, allowing riders to monitor their horses' data on their Garmin smartwatches. This cross-product synergy creates additional value for existing Garmin customers and potential incentives for new customer acquisition. The 25-hour battery life addresses a key concern for outdoor/sporting applications.
This move demonstrates Garmin's strategy to leverage its core competencies in sensor technology and data analytics to enter adjacent specialty markets with premium pricing potential, rather than competing solely in increasingly commoditized mainstream wearable segments.
Easy-to-use tail wrap and sensor gives riders and trainers insights into their horse's health and fitness
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.
