UPDATE! As much as I loved the Sports-Tracker App, a friend introduced me to a new one which is actually geared toward horses, called Equilab. I actually use the free version, which is still chock-full of great features. For example, you can enter multiple horses, which is very handy for me. Also, if you have a riding lesson in the arena, or maybe forget to turn on the app when you start riding but really need to track the ride, you can manually enter a training.
There are additional features in the paid version, such as a "safety tracker" - where you can choose someone to get a real-time notification of your ride. So for example, if you are riding alone, a friend or spouse can monitor the ride to make sure you get back safely, and if something should happen, they can see on the map exactly where you are.
Here are some screenshots from my phone to show some of the features:

So I have a new favorite way to track my rides and horse workouts. It's an app for your smartphone called Sports-Tracker, and it uses your GPS to record a map of your route, your speed, your time, and numerous other functions. Yesterday I took Teddy out for a ride, and here's the "dashboard" of info:
I think what I like most is just the sense of accomplishment I get from looking back at what I've done!
