COTH App (Chronicle of the Horse – Android and iOS)
The COTH App, named for the Chronicle of the Horse Magazine and website, allows both current and past subscribers to access the entire collection of magazines dating back to the 1930s. This is amazing if you are looking for a specific article from an old issue or want to look through old magazine covers. There’s even more than just magazines! The app also has a calendar of horse shows and competitions that are in your area. It also helps you find all the necessary information about these upcoming events. The COTH app doesn’t allow you to enter these competitions, but it does make it very easy for you to find competitions that would be right for your horse! This app is free but requires a subscription to the magazine in order to use it.

The exercises include both dressage and show jumping lessons, with topics ranging from how to jump the triple bar safely and how to prepare for competition day.
Other areas of content include health and nutrition for your horse, explanations of what certain types of tack are used for, as well as tips on leading your horse safely in different locations (like going through water).
