Horseback Riding

[Jbisson510]

It would be nice if the multi sport feature of the Fitbit Surge automatically recognized horseback riding, that way when I get on my horse I don't have to worry about it counting thousands of steps that I did not take myself.  I'd like my normal and every day activities to be tracked accurately but when I ride for an hour I can get up to 12,000 steps.

Hi @Jbisson510

Feel free to add your vote / comment to @adobe101 's suggestion on the Feature Requests subforum:

https://community.fitbit.com/t5/Feature-Requests/Tracking-Exercise-Horseback-Riding/idi-p/715938

The more votes increases the chance of the developers integrate the functionality.

I know it's not automatic, but have you tried the drivebit app? You can link it to your fitbit account and when you start your ride just click start on the drivebit app. Once you finish your ride click finish, and it will then remove all the steps you acquired during that period.

I have the same question about riding. It looks like I've ran 40000 steps after a long trail ride. Not so, but feels like it some days. Lol
