Horse Riding Mode or at least fixing Step counting Bug

Hey !

I just have buy the Garmin Venu. It's pretty amazing, many fonctionnality and all.

But as a Horse rider, every days my watch over estimates my steps, my stairs climbing and my "actives minutes" while i'm riding, and then my calories burned during the day. 

First i would like to have an option to pause the step count easily, and furthermore add horse ridding activity from the watch  (like a timer that count minutes of riding and estimate calories burned, i know it's already possible from the app.)

Secondly, if it's possible, a new sport could be add, by using GPS (as bicycle e.g), to estimate distance, percentage of walk, trot and canter in order to be more precise and get information about the rider, and why not the Horse.

As a Vet i already know many connected application to evaluate horse performance, but thought my reasearch there is still nothing about the riders. Garmin could be the first and promote it among rider communities and get membership of many owners ?! 

I hope this message will reach some developpers (and sorry for my english !) ;) 

Thanks !
