GROUNDBREAKING INNOVATION

Gallop to Glory: Empowering Horses, Preserving Agility

Designed and developed by industry experts Robert ‘Choc’ Thornton and Aron Tyler Dip WCF, improving racehorse welfare has always been at the forefront of concern for all equestrian enthusiasts; from owners, jockeys, trainers, and industry professionals alike.

The demanding nature of horse racing exposes these majestic animals to considerable strain, and traditional metal horseshoes, while effective in protecting hooves, often cause discomfort and potential injuries. The repetitive impact and stress endured during races can lead to hoof fatigue and long-term damage, compromising the overall health and performance of the horse.

This innovation isn’t just about victory on the racetrack; it’s about preserving the welfare and safety of both horse and the rider, something I wish I had when I was racing!

The Equishox racing plate features an innovative aluminium insert with a rubber coating, effectively minimising injuries caused by horses striking themselves or colliding with other competitors during races. Additionally, the Equishox plate incorporates an anti-concussion element that significantly reduces the vibrations transmitted up the horse’s leg, thereby minimising the risk of injury.

In the world of racing, where horses often hack on roads and slippery surfaces on route to the gallops, Equishox’s exceptional anti-slip properties ensure a safer experience for both the horses and the dedicated stud staff.
