For riding horses, taking to the track or the course for a ride can cause stress so the 'HorseCom' is designed to help calm their nerves during rides.

Humans will often [listen to music](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/active-noisecancelling-earphones) to help [calm them down](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manage-stress), pump them up or aid them when it comes to just about any endeavor they're partaking in. The 'HorseCom' looks to do the same for horses by providing [auditory stimulation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pet-headphones) that will help them perform better.

The 'HorseCom' is controlled by the jockey and fits seamlessly over a horse's head; riders can set the device to play music or even utilize it as an intercom to speak to the horse.

While the 'HorseCom' provides a way to help treat riding horses through the power of audio, it also offers jockeys the ability to take calls as they ride and much more.
