Whether you own a horse boarding facility or board your horse away from home, being able to check in 24/7 is a major perk. There are various types of equine monitoring for boarding that helps to keep everyone in the loop.

Equine Monitoring for Boarding

Boarding your horse can be bittersweet. While it may be nice not to have to live on a farm to own a horse, you also can’t be there with them at any time of the day—or can you?

For boarding facilities, being able to offer boarders equine monitoring access could be a big perk for the business. Owners can check in with their animals at all hours. Plus, some systems may even alert users of certain situations, like a change in horse behavior or temperature.

There are equine monitors designed for both indoor and outdoor use. The indoor models can be positioned toward the stalls, while the outdoor systems focus on the grazing fields and training grounds.

Some standard features for these devices include:

• Motion sensors
• Water-resistant
• Bluetooth/Wi-fi-enabled
• Compatible app
• Push notifications

Benefits of Equine Monitors

Not only can horse boarders and owners monitor daily horse activity, but some wearable devices also help you spot any irregularities in movement or performance. With data that’s easy to compare, you can keep track of progress following injury or lameness.

Many of these devices also come with a compatible app that stores footage and notifies you when your horse may be out of its comfort zone.

Some of these programs even allow you to share the information with other parties, including family, riders, managers, and vets. Devices with livestream capabilities mean these other interested parties can be anywhere in the world and still be able to monitor the horse.
