TTE Advisory Board: Holiday Gift Recommendations & Giving Back

The Tech Equestrian is already in the holiday spirit – Yes! Believe it or not…and for good reason - there are so many great horse tech gifts this year and so much to be thankful for! This month we asked The Tech Equestrian Advisory Board two questions: What is your recommendation for a horse tech gift (not your own brand) and why and 2) What is your favorite horse charity; or what do you do to give back to the horse industry?

TTE Advisory Board: What's Trending Now

‘What’s Trending Now’ is a popular term in social media (think “Twitter”) to categorize our every day consumption of content. Technology is more comfortable changing than staying static – it clearly has always lived in that realm – the realm of ‘what’s next’ so we wanted to ask our Advisory Board out of the top 4 tech trends impacting the world we live in today; which one(s) are they thinking about or are already using in their product or service? It’s an exciting time to see how tech will shape the horse world!

TTE Advisory Board - Tips on Doing your Horse Tech Homework

September is all about getting back to school, college or at work focusing on projects to finish the year successful, so we thought why not ask our experts their top tips/recommendations they would give an equestrian who is looking to adopt horse tech into their routine? Yes, doing your homework, signing up for free product demos or trials, reading reviews, etc. were some of the answers they provided. Learning is one of our mottos at The Tech Equestrian - a great foundation for any type of organization: #neverstoplearning.

Find out more in this month’s TTE Advisory Board post.

TTE Advisory Board: Tech Enabled Horse Shows

August is an exciting month in the horse show world from top European Championships to the Pan American Games to Pony Finals and more - the spotlight shines on equestrians and their equine athletes. With that in mind, we posed two questions to our horsetech experts on how technology is either changing or will change the way we compete. This month’s questions included:
1) How will technology change the way horse shows are governed? Will technology be seen as a help or will it be scrutinized for giving horse/rider an 'advantage'?
2) If you were a horse show producer - how would you leverage technology to help in providing a better experience?

TTE Advisory Board: How Integration Will Shape the Future of Horse Tech

What integrated ways (or disruptions) will technology change the horse world; please provide an example of what you are currently seeing, planning on offering with your product/service or hoping becomes available?

TTE Advisory Board: Get to Know their Favorites and Admirations

We hope you are enjoying one of my favorite months: June – a hybrid month – half spring and half summer filled with long sunny days (hopefully) and lower humidity (in the Northeast, at least) and also a perfect month to get to know The Tech Equestrian Advisory Board members. We asked them a range of questions so you cannot only respect their new products/services/apps but appreciate some of their likes and admirations. I know I can relate to many of their answers. Enjoy and happy riding!

TTE Advisory Board: Horse Tech Partnerships

One of the beautiful aspects of horses is that they are our partners – whether you are riding competitively or caring and managing them for pleasure. So it seems a natural fit to have partnerships and collaborations when it comes to horse tech providers expanding their offerings. Let’s hear from The Tech Equestrian Advisory Board on how they feel about collaborations and what they are already doing or plan to do when it comes to partnerships.

TTE Advisory Board: The Data Dilemma

At The Tech Equestrian we know how important data is to any size business looking to advance their business with the aid of technology. Many of today’s tech enabled businesses are building a one-to-one relationship with their customers by customizing their offerings and experiences. And guess what? It’s getting easier for them to tailor their products & services because the digital footprint you leave every day is expansive and immediately brings to mind the sensitive topic of data privacy.

Let’s ask The Tech Equestrian Advisory Board their thoughts on the best way for tech savvy companies to value and respect their customer’s data and maximize it to expand their offerings – and you be the judge – do you think there is a data dilemma brewing or is it moving business solutions in the right direction?

TTE Advisory Board: Robots in the Horse World

This month I challenged The Tech Equestrian Advisory board to think outside of the box (or stall!) and discuss their views on what impact robots would have if they were introduced to the horse world. This is a very interesting concept because horses are very intelligent and high touch creatures and they may not like a motorized robot to be near them at all – but there could be other uses, let’s see how the experts responded…and you’ll notice common responses/themes throughout.
