Local woman, Sarah Edward is one of the co-founders of Equitas, the new online magazine that aims to 'empower change, together' for women working in the equine industry.
The Co Meath native says the publication is the "first of its kind" for the sector and aims to address the inequality and inequities within the sport.
Speaking on this afternoon's Wider View, Ms Edward pointed to how the new magazine provided a platform on which to address the matter in a pro-active way.
She said women working in the equine industry wanted "proportional fairness".
Ms Edward also pointed out that "acknowledging" women as the backbone of the industry, was also required.
"What Equitas is calling for equity, proportional fairness for women," she continued.
"We want to harness the power of women.
"And we want to help them create a movement that is going to change the equine industry [for the better] for future generations."
