A device designed to securely attach a mobile communication device to a rider or their equipment during equine activities. It provides a hands-free method for carrying a phone while riding, training, or working around horses. Examples include cases with straps that attach to the rider’s arm, mounts that affix to the saddle, or clips that secure to clothing.
These accessories offer convenience and safety advantages. They allow immediate access to communication in case of emergencies, enable the use of navigation or training apps, and facilitate capturing photos or videos. The concept evolved from a need to keep communication accessible in the equine environment without compromising the rider’s control or safety. Early versions were often adaptations of general-purpose phone holders, but purpose-built designs offer improved security and functionality.
