One press. One pulse. One change of state.
The jockey presses the wrist unit once.
A single one way radio pulse travels 30 to 80 centimetres. No data, no pairing, no network.
PDLC film turns opaque in an instant. If anything fails, it stays clear. The horse always keeps standard gear.
Calmer horses. Safer racing.
Reduced visual stress lowers heart rate, cortisol and anxious behaviour. A horse that settles needs fewer whip interventions in the final straight.
Reduced visual stress helps horses settle from the jump.
Less overstimulation means a healthier stress profile on race day.
A settled horse needs less urging in the straight.
Every activation is logged on the jockey wrist unit for review.
