They have become essential in everyday life, and they are useful in all areas: health, shopping, social life, games, sports … You will understand, we decided to talk about mobile applications. Because the equestrian world has not escaped it, here are some applications that you can’t miss when you are a horse lover, rider and/or owner.
Destrier
Renowned for its feed and supplements for horses, Destrier launches the first application dedicated to horse feeding. The interface allows owners who manage the food of their equines to be accompanied in the choice of the food program of their protégés. Describe your horse and visualize its physiological needs to define an adapted ration. All you must do is save your choice on your horse’s file to be able to consult it quickly and easily at any time of the day and to change it. You will also find on the application advice specially adapted to the profile of your horse, the points of sale and their contact details to easily find your Destrier products as well as an alert system so that you don’t forget the important moments in the life of your horse (deworming, farrier, competitions…). The application “Feed your horse well” is available free of charge on the Apple Store and the Google Play Store
EKISM
“My daughter Marine gave me the idea to create Ekism when she saw the constraints of managing her horse Stradivarius. This is how Sophie Roscheck presents EKISM ID, her application for the daily management of horses. Design and intuitive, the application allows you to create the identity card of your horses, to organize a training program and outings, to create a calendar of care and offers you the possibility to use a dashboard that allows you to follow its budget. Of course, it is possible to share information about your horses with your friends.
