In the career of riding, technology has developed immensely over time, and it is guaranteed that it will continue to grow in years to come. My prediction is that in the future, technological equipment will become smaller, easier and cheaper for the consumer to use on a daily basis, ensuring the health of their horse is maintained without having to call in expensive specialists.
For example, small wrist watches that monitor a human’s heart beat will be applied to the equine industry, and a device will be developed that can allow the rider to maintain a healthy heart rate in their horse while still riding. Currently, the only way to monitor the horse’s heart is to dismount and use a stethoscope. If they could apply the technology that is used to monitor a human’s heart rate and combined it with a girth, maybe they could have the same kind of heart band idea. It would rest across the horse’s chest, on about the same place where you would put a human’s. I expect there will be lots of crossovers in technology into the equine world, as people constantly look for new ways to improve their animal’s health and well being.
