Read full descriptionHide full description
Forelock keeps everything about the horse in one place — the work, the feed, the farrier, the vet, the results — and puts it in your pocket for the moments that need it. ON EVENT DAY Your times, your rings, and what's actually happening at the gate. Walk the course knowing the surface, the entries, and how you've gone here before. AT THE YARD The day's work and feeds at a glance. Log a ride in seconds. Record a video and send it to your coach — and get their voice back over your own footage. THE WHOLE HORSE Every session, health event, shoeing and result builds the horse's record — so the story is there when the vet asks, when the season turns, or when a new rider takes over. Forelock is made at a working farm in North Canterbury, New Zealand, and shaped daily by the people who use it.
