No Horsing Around with Equestrian Safety

A horse’s stature and power makes them one of the most majestic animals; however, their power also means that their handlers need to ensure that safety is always at the forefront of their minds. Even the most experienced person can become injured which can sometimes become fatal. It is therefore of the utmost importance to stay refreshed and up-to-date on safety knowledge when working with horses.

Pro-Visual Publishing, in collaboration with Horse Safety Australia and Pony Club New South Wales, is thrilled to announce the release of the second edition of the Augmented Reality (AR) Equine Industry Guide to Safety 2018/19 after the success of the first edition. The Guide is aimed at spreading awareness of key issues that can affect a handler’s health and safety when handling horses. Displaying the Guide in horse facilities and equestrian centres across Australia will serve as a constant visual reminder of the importance of ensuring health and safety of all involved in the industry.

This year’s key topics include:

  • Animal Handling.
  • Rugging a horse.
  • Leading a horse.
  • Induction process for new staff and volunteers.
  • The risk management process.
     

AR is once again incorporated into the Guide to provide those in the equine industry with a digitally interactive experience, contributing to a higher likelihood of information retention. By simply downloading the Pro-Vis AR app, users can scan over any AR capable content with their smart device to experience safety information on a whole new level.

“I would like to thank all the sponsors of the Equine Industry Guide to Safety 2018/19. Their support has made it possible for the Guide to be distributed free of charge.” – John Hutchings, CEO, Pro-Visual Publishing.
