GIRTH
SLEEVE

USER GUIDE
The girth-sleeve automatically goes to sleep when not
connected via Bluetooth, if no training is under way.
STANDBY MODE
GETTING STARTED
Charge your girth sleeve with the included wireless
charger.
The girth sleeve has a 10-hour battery life when on
and a two week run time on sleep mode.
The girth sleeve automatically switches on when you
connect it to the application via Bluetooth.

CHARGING THE GIRTH SLEEVE
USER GUIDE
SEAVER
Turn the girth sleeve to have the flat side facing you,
with the casing on the bottom.
Note: A red light will switch on for just a few seconds
on the charger when you plug it in.
First, plug in the wireless charger
into a power outlet. Then, place
it on the lower right part of the
girth sleeve, behind the casing.
The « horse » logo of the char-
ger should be facing the girth
sleeve.

USER GUIDE
A red light on the logo side of the charger will turn on
to indicate the girth sleeve is charging and turn off
when the battery is fully charged.
In order to be able to see this red light and make sure
the girth sleeve is charging, you can position it this
way while charging:
It will take about 1h/1h30 for the girth sleeve to fully
charge. During charging, it might get a little warm, but
no worries, this is normal.

USER GUIDE
ATTACHING THE GIRTH SLEEVE TO THE GIRTH
You should have received 4 attachments: 2 long straps
for stud girths (1st photo) and 2 velcro straps for thin
girths (2nd photo).
You can also use the velcros as an extension of the
straps, if you have a big stud girth and the straps are
too short.
For thin girths, you can attach the straps around the
girth sleeve to make sure it is tighlty fixed on the girth.

Important:
The girth sleeve needs to be well attached to the girth
so as not to move or hang in order to provide you with
all the data of your training session.
Otherwise, an error message will display on your appli-
cation at the end of your training.
Be particularly careful if you have a girth that is thinner
than the girth sleeve, as data might be distorted from
an improper attachment, with the girth sleeve being
too loose on the girth.

USING THE ELECTRODES
PLACING THE WITHERS’ ELECTRODE
The second electrode enables the collection of several
data such as cardio and calories burned. Before each
use of the girth sleeve, for accurate and reliable data,
you need to apply water (preferably warm) on the two
electrodes as well as directly on your horse with a
sponge. You can also put gel on the two electrodes,
instead of using water.
The second electrode must be placed behind the
withers on the left side of the horse, right where the
saddle comes in contact with the horse’s back.
See the image on the right.

USER GUIDE
PLACING THE WITHERS’ ELECTRODE

USER GUIDE
The placement area to have accurate results is quite
large, so do not worry if from one training session to
another you do not put it at the exact same place.
1. Take the electrode in your hand: the spikes side is
to be in direct contact with the horse’s skin.
2. After putting the saddle, and right before tighte-
ning the girth, put your hand (with the electrode)
underneath the saddle pad, as if to raise it off the
withers. Put the electrode there, making sure it is
maintained by the saddle, with the wire towards the
ground.
3. Once the electrode is blocked; tighten the girth
and then attach the wire to the snap button on the
girth-sleeve: it must go underneath the saddle ver-
tically.

USER GUIDE
Notes:
The electrode was scientifically tested with a pressure
sensor pad, and we can assure you – thanks to the ma-
terial we chose to use in particular – that it does not
apply any negative pressure on the horse’s back.
We have also considered safety issues: if something
were to get caught in the wire, it will automatically
come off the snap button to avoid any risk of injuries,
without breaking the girth sleeve.

The Seaver application can be downloaded via
standard platforms.

COMPATIBILITY
APPLICATION

CONNECTING TO THE APP
APPLICATION
Create a Seaver account from the application, and then
connect to it. Before being able to launch a training,
you will need to connect your girth sleeve to the app.
To do that, click on the Bluetooth button (in red) on
the home screen of the app. Another page will display,
where you will be able to select your girth sleeve and
connect it.

APPLICATION
If nothing is displayed on the « connect » page; it means
the application does not detect the girth sleeve.
It can happen in three cases:
- if the girth sleeve is not charged
- if the girth sleeve is not nearby
- if you did not activate your location in the parame-
ters of the app
Once you have connected your girth sleeve, it will au-
tomatically be updated, if needed. Be aware that this
can take some time if you have a poor internet connec-
tion.

DURING YOUR TRAINING
PRACTICALINFORMATION
The Seaver girth sleeve is shock and water resistant.
To improve impermeability, we have added an extra
layer of glue to the girth sleeve. It might crack a little,
but do not worry it will not affect the electronics.
ABOUT YOUR GIRTH SLEEVE
It is preferable that you keep your phone on you during
your session, in order to have data that use your gps
(speed, distance...) and for data gathering and retrieval
not to take too long at the end of your training.

THE MEASURING TAPE
The tape supplied with your Seaver product is 3m (120
inches) long. It will help you take measurements of your
horse.
Measuring your horse is an essential part of the horse’s
profile creation in the Seaver application.
Indeed, our algorithms’ thresholds will then be set accor-
ding to these measurements in order to provide the most
accurate results adapted to your horse.
PRACTICALINFORMATION

Bring your horse on a flat and even ground.
If you do not have a height measuring stick, hold the
measuring tape vertically behind the horse’s fore
limbs. Take the measurement from the highest point
of the withers to the ground, making sure to keep the
tape as straight as possible.

The girth’s height will be required to calculate jumping
data such as fence heights.
Hold the measuring tape vertically behind the fore limbs,
and place the tip under the belly, right where the girth
would be.

Measure your pony’s bel-
ly from the withers, going
behind his shoulders and
through the girth area.
HORSE
Measure your horse’s
belly going through the
middle of the back and
the umbilical.
