Nearly 10,000 allowed construction injury claims in seven months.

WSIB’s latest Ontario construction statistics show 9,991 allowed claims connected to 2026 injuries as of July 31:

🔹 2,710 lost-time claims — 27%
🔹 7,281 no-lost-time claims — 73%

Among the leading recorded lost-time injury types were 561 sprains and strains, 327 fractures, 184 cuts/lacerations/punctures, and 96 concussions.

The numbers matter — but what matters more is what happens next on the job site.

Strong prevention starts with:

✅ Routine site inspections
✅ Proper worker and supervisor training
✅ Clear employee manuals, policies and procedures
✅ Site-specific instructions and hazard controls
✅ Consistent supervision and follow-up

A safety program only works when it is actually implemented.

If you need help strengthening your inspections, training, manuals or incident-prevention procedures, STC-HR can help.

The Ride You’ll Never Forget (For the Wrong Reasons)

Not every ride goes according to plan.

Sometimes the biggest lessons come from the rides we wish we could forget.

The missed lead.
The wrong distance.
The bad pattern.
The frustrating training day.

But those rides often teach us the most.

What happened during a ride that challenged you?

And what did you learn from it?

👇 We’ve all had one.

09/05/2026

WHAT IF THE PROBLEM ISN’T YOUR RIDING?

You ride.

You take lessons.

You listen to your trainer.

You watch videos.

You go to clinics.

You practice.

You work your ass off trying to get better.

But here’s a question riders don’t ask very often:

How much of what you learn are you actually carrying into your next ride?

Maybe the problem isn’t a lack of effort.

Maybe we’re losing too much information between rides.

That correction your trainer made.

The exercise that finally worked.

The reason yesterday’s ride felt incredible.

The mistake you promised yourself you wouldn’t repeat.

The tiny breakthrough you barely noticed.

What if you remembered all of it?

Not just the big moments.

The little ones.

Because those little moments, stacked together over hundreds of rides, are where better riders are made.

That’s the idea behind EquestrianIQ.

Not another voice telling you how to ride.

A way to make more of what you, your horse and your trainer are already learning together.

Your trainer brings the knowledge.

Your horse gives you the feedback.

You put in the work.

EquestrianIQ helps you remember the journey.

Ride. Reflect. Improve.

Every Ride Matters.

The Ride Log

Your riding history is more valuable than you think.

Think about how much happens over a season.

A great ride where something finally clicks.

A lesson where your trainer gives you one correction that changes everything.

A clinic packed with information.

A show where you learn just as much from what went wrong as what went right.

Six months later…how much of it do you actually remember?

That’s why EquestrianIQ has the Ride Log.

Your rides, lessons, clinics and show experiences can all be kept together and organized into your riding history.

And because you can search and filter that history, you can go back and find the information that matters when you need it.

But this isn’t about keeping records just for the sake of keeping records.

Your history becomes part of what helps you move forward.

The more you capture, the clearer the story becomes:

What keeps improving.
What keeps showing up.
What your trainer has been working on with you.
What you accomplished at a show.
And where your attention needs to go next.

Your first entry is just one ride.

Then another.

Then another.

Eventually, you’ve built something most riders have never had:

A searchable history of their journey with their horse.

Don’t let another great ride—or an important lesson—disappear from memory.

Ride. Reflect. Improve.

Every horse you ride is different.

Different strengths.
Different challenges.
Different personalities.
And a completely different journey.

That’s why EquestrianIQ lets you add and track more than one horse.

Whether you own multiple horses, compete on different horses, ride lesson horses, or have a young horse coming along, each horse can have their own individual history inside EquestrianIQ.

Their rides.
Their coaching notes.
Their goals.
Their challenges.
Their progress.

And when you use Pre-Ride Prep, EquestrianIQ can use that specific horse’s information and ride history to help you prepare for the ride ahead.

Because what worked with one horse may not be what another horse needs today.

Over time, you’re not just building a riding journal.

You’re building the story of each partnership — and learning more about yourself as a rider along the way.

Different horses. Different strengths. One rider. One journey.

Every horse has a story. And every ride becomes part of it.

Some rides feel incredible.

Some show us exactly what still needs work.

Some give us that one small breakthrough we’ve been chasing for weeks.

And sometimes, we don’t realize how far we’ve come until we stop and look back.

That’s a big part of why we built EquestrianIQ.

To give riders one place to capture the journey — rides, lessons, coaching notes, goals, challenges and those little wins that are so easy to forget.

But EquestrianIQ isn’t just about recording the past.

It’s about using what you’ve learned to make the next ride better.

Log the ride.
Learn from it.
Plan the next one.
Track the progress.
Celebrate the wins.

Because progress with a horse rarely happens overnight.

It happens one ride at a time.

And months from now, you’ll be able to look back and see something pretty special:

The story you and your horse built together.

STC HR — Working at Heights Verification Alert

IS THAT WORKING AT HEIGHTS CARD VALID?
Ontario has issued an official hazard alert warning employers about fraudulent Working at Heights (WAH) training cards and unapproved training providers. Some providers have issued cards without delivering the mandatory approved training — putting workers and employers at serious risk.

A wallet card alone is not enough. Before allowing a worker to use any fall‑protection system on a construction project:

SAFETY CHECKLIST

• Confirm the training provider and program were approved
• Verify the worker’s eligibility through Ontario’s online system
• Keep the worker’s training record available for inspection
• Provide required site‑specific fall‑protection training

Protect your workers — and your company — by verifying training before work begins.

Progress is easy to miss when you’re living it.

As riders, we tend to remember what went wrong.

The missed lead.
The stop that wasn’t quite there.
The transition we’re still trying to perfect.

Then we move on to the next ride and start working on the next thing.

But what about everything that got better?

That’s another reason we created EquestrianIQ.

When your rides, lessons, coaching notes and goals are kept together, you start building something incredibly valuable:

A record of your journey with your horse.

Look back a few weeks or a few months and suddenly you can see it.

Something that used to be difficult is becoming consistent.

A correction your trainer kept making isn’t showing up anymore.

A goal you wrote down has become something you can actually do.

Those little improvements are easy to forget—but together, they’re the story of progress.

EquestrianIQ helps you remember where you started, understand where you are, and keep working toward where you want to go.

Because every ride doesn’t have to be perfect.

It just needs to move you forward.
