EQUESTRIAN NEWS EQUESTIC SADDLECLIP HITS THE UK MARKET JUST IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS A new technology based ‘saddle clip’ has been brought to the UK exclusively by equestrian outfitters, The Drillshed. The Equestic Saddleclip and associated app, can detect changes and trends in the horse’s movement. Within seconds the rider is measuring key stats on their horse’s symmetry, rhythm, elevation, activity on either rein and intensity of work. Equestic is an easy-to-fit, durable saddle clip that attaches onto the rear of the left saddle flap, behind the riders leg. The data can be used to improve performance, establish correct training regimes and even identify potential causes for future injury. Already a huge success in the Netherlands, Equestic Saddleclip helps you to train your horse to become a “Happy Athlete” and raise your own awareness of the progress you have both made.
