These magnetic attachments display competitor identification at equestrian events. They offer a secure, easily visible method for horses and riders to be identified by judges and spectators throughout competitions. For instance, a rider might affix one to their saddle pad or bridle to clearly indicate their assigned number in a class.
The use of these numbering systems streamlines event management, enhancing both safety and efficiency. Historically, numbers were pinned onto clothing or attached with adhesive, leading to potential damage or detachment. The advent of magnetic fasteners provides a reusable, non-damaging alternative, contributing to a more professional and organized presentation in the equestrian sport.
