As technology continues to advance, the equestrian world is benefiting from new tools designed to improve both rider safety and horse performance. These gadgets help track progress, enhance safety during your rides, and ensure your horse’s well-being. Here are 10 innovative devices that every equestrian should consider for their daily routine, both in and out of the barn.
1. Equestic Saddle Clip
The Equestic Saddle Clip is a must-have for anyone serious about training effectively. It tracks your horse’s movements, providing data on key indicators, and helps detect injury-related changes before they become noticeable. Whether you’re working on injury rehabilitation or aiming to boost your horse’s performance, this clip offers precise insights to keep you on the right track.
2. Horse Tail Lights
Whether you are in the barn or in the area, visibility is always key around our horses. This recommendation feels even more timely as the autumn days arrive as days grow shorter. The need for improved visibility is even more the case during early morning or late evening rides. Horse Tail Lights use LED technology to keep both you and your horse visible to others on the road. These lights are particularly beneficial in low-light conditions, providing safety during foggy mornings, dark nights, and everything in between. 
3. Tipperary Competitor Vest
As equestrians, we understand the need for safety and protection while we ride. Whether you show competitively or ride leisurely, safety and mobility are perfectly balanced in the Tipperary Competitor Vest. This protective vest is designed for equestrian riders at all levels. It offers full-coverage protection while maintaining freedom of movement. With its high-density foam and breathable construction, this vest ensures both safety and comfort during intense rides. As is the case with our American Stalls products, safety is always first.
4. Pixem 2 Robot Auto-Follow Camera
We recently saw on Instagram more and more riders capturing their rides with precision and fluid camera movement. As athletes, we understand how important "watching the film" can be. Capture every moment of your ride with the Pixem 2 Robot Auto-Follow Camera. This camera tracks your movements automatically, making it ideal for horseback riders who want to review their performance or create content. Perfect for solo riders, it films without the need for someone to operate the camera, offering seamless training reviews.
5. Vitafloor's Horse Solariums
We recently wrote in an article about tools to improve your performance as a rider. In the article, we shared the benefits of an infrared sauna as it promotes better blood circulation, provides infrared light therapy, and shortens recovery times. This week, we'd like to share basically the equivalent technology for our horses! The Vitafloor Horse Solarium provides therapeutic benefits by warming up and cooling down your horse’s muscles, reducing the risk of injury and promoting better blood circulation. Its infrared light therapy can also dry your horse after wash-downs, improving overall health and recovery times after intense exercise.
6. Farm Innovators Plastic Heated Bucket
It may be only the third week of September, but "Winter is coming." As the colder fall and winter weather strikes, keeping your horse’s water from freezing is a challenge. The Farm Innovators Plastic Heated Bucket prevents freezing with a built-in thermostat, ensuring your horse has access to fresh water at all times. It’s a simple yet highly effective solution for cold climates.
7. Optimum Time Ultimate Event Watch
We were recently at the Kentucky Horse Park overseeing the completion of our 200 Sliding Horse Stall Systems at the Park's new competition barns. During our time, we were in awe by the spectacular riders and horses. As competitive riders, we understand that timing is everything. The Optimum Time Ultimate Event Watch helps you stay on top of your ride times, whether you’re competing in cross-country or other equestrian events. Its large display and easy-to-use design make it a favorite for event riders.

10. Pivo Pod Silver Equestrian Pack
One of previous recommendations was an awesome suggestion for a seperate camera system. However, sometimes, you just want to take your iPhone and hit "record." Now, take your smartphone into a professional horse-tracking camera with the Pivo Pod Silver Equestrian Pack.
