We are a nation of animal lovers here in Australia and they don’t come much bigger and better than the horse. If you are an owner, or simply someone who rides one every now and then, you’ll know all about how enjoyable that experience really can be. But it is also a challenge that can be a little testing at times. Your horsey pal needs a lot of exercise and even more TLC. But were you aware that your favourite Smartphone platform can help with both of those issues? We have got a brace of iOS applications here that not only love horses but can also help you to give them even more care and pleasure in the future.
Horse 360 By Animal 360 Pty Ltd – $1.99 – https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/horse-360/id417338774?mt=8
This App will run on your iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad and it will require iOS 4.3 or later for smooth running. Owning a horse is a little different to being a dog or a cat owner, and that is putting it rather mildly. These large and majestic animals really need a lot of looking after if you want them to thrive. So how can a Smartphone App possibly help in this matter, you may well be asking? Quite a lot actually, because Horse 360 is a veritable mine of useful equine information, and then some. There are 3 levels covered here and each one will help you to take a step closer to being the best owner that any horse could ever wish for. You’ll be able to spot the symptoms that let you know if your horse is having a bad day, or even worse. And you will begin to understand those medical terms that your equine vet loves to baffle you with. Okay, this App is not a substitute for the real thing and nor will it equip you with knowledge to double guess the experts, but it does offer a lot of helpful information that can help you to care for the horse in your life. And that is surely more than enough reason to take a closer look at Horse 360!
CourseWalk By The Finder Network LLC – $9.99 – https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/coursewalk/id464116988?mt=8
This App will run on your iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad and it will require iOS 5.1 or later for smooth running. If you are an eventer and you’d like a little extra technology in your life, here it is! With CourseWalk, you can map out the cross country course and identify the all-important minute markers. The app also allows you to look over our dressage test and you can even take photos of the fences. Share the results online with MyCourseWalk, .com and download their good stuff onto your iOS Smartphone. You’ll be able to do all of this and much more without the need for any signal on your handheld device. We love it and think that all eventers should grab this bad boy with both hands.
