Equishox is granted approval from the Emirates Racing Authority.
Officially approved for use by the ERA in the United Arab Emirates for training and racing, this achievement signifies a notable progression for Equishox and the horse racing industry.
Equishox, a vulcanised rubber-coated aluminium horseshoe designed for racehorses, underwent a thorough evaluation by the Emirates Racing Authority before receiving approval. The Emirates Racing Authority is renowned for prioritising the safety and well-being of horses and jockeys and acknowledges Equishox’s potential to positively impact the future of the sport. Equishox’s technology is designed to provide shock absorption, reducing the impact on a horse’s legs during horse racing and training. This not only enhances the overall comfort of the horse but also contributes to minimising the risk of injuries.
Former Jockey, Robert ‘Choc’ Thornton, Co-Founder of Equishox, expressed his thoughts about the approval, stating:
“We are privileged to announce our approval by the Emirates Racing Authority. This achievement has been in the works for months, and this success underscores the dedication of our team in crafting a product that places the welfare of both horses and jockeys at the forefront during training and horse racing.”
Equishox’s approval by the Emirates Racing Authority opens up new possibilities for trainers, owners, and jockeys who are keen to adopt Equishox and optimise their horses’ racing experience.
The Emirates Racing Board’s decision follows the approval of Equishox by the British Horseracing Authority, the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board and the National Steeplechase Association. The team are in the process of gaining approval from France and Australia.
