HorseSafe April 2026 Newsletter: Real Results in Horse Monitoring & Equine Technology

Horse owners across New Zealand & Australia are increasing turning to horse monitoring technology and HorseSafe to gain visibility over their horses’ wellbeing – whether at home or away. At HorseSafe, we're seeing firsthand how equine technology is on the rise. Over the past few months, we’ve rolled out updates, captured real results, and saw how customers are using HorseSafe every day.


Real Results from HorseSafe Users

Looney's Early Morning Foaling

One of the most valuable use cases for a horse monitor is during foaling season, where timing is everything.

At 3am, Looney’s beautiful warmblood colt was ready to arrive—while the owner was asleep. Thanks to HorseSafe’s alerts, they were notified just in time, allowing for the foal to arrive safely!

 

A Small Alert, A Big Difference

Varina's owner received an alert the yearling filly had a sudden spike in activity—she running around her paddock. It prompted a quick check and the cause was a botfly bothering her. Because of the early alert, she could get a spray before there was stress or injury.

Great example of how continuous monitoring can detect subtle behavioural changes that may otherwise go unnoticed in a paddock environment.

 

Advancing Horse Monitoring Tech

Temperature Monitoring: Coming Soon

We’re taking another big step forward in equine welfare and horse monitoring tech. We’re now working on integrating temperature monitoring into HorseSafe This means alongside activity, movement, eating, and behaviour—you’ll soon be able to see temperature data in one place. 

We’re currently exploring integrations (including some very cool tech in this space), and we’ll keep you updated as things progress.

Partner Updates in the Equine Ecosystem

New Partnership: Petcover Australia!

We’re excited to be partnering with Petcover Australia, who have shared real claims data from 2025 highlighting the most common health issues horse owners faced over Winter.

While not everything can be prevented, having the right insurance in place—combined with continuous monitoring through HorseSafe—can make a significant difference. Early insight + financial protection = better outcomes for your horse.

Bacon & Sausage Sizzle at Papatoetoe Pony Club
