Horses aren’t like dogs. Whereas the one is always around the house, the other spends much of its time off in a pasture. So, how is a horse-owner supposed to keep track of what their animal is doing? Well, a group of Swedish entrepreneurs believe that their HoofStep system is the answer. Mounted within a head harness, the actual HoofStep […]
Go-Pro For Pets
Yes, you’re right. GoPro does already make an actioncam harness-mount for dogs (as does Sony, for that matter).
