• A rider and horse jumping over an obstacle in an indoor equestrian arena, with cameras capturing the event. the horse has markers and sensors attached to anatomical landmarks for biomechanics data collection.
  • A woman riding a horse in an outdoor riding arena, with stable buildings and trees in the background, under a cloudy sky.
  • A woman standing with two small ponies in an indoor riding arena. One pony is brown and the other is black and white. There is an optical motion capture (qualisys) system in the arena with cameras on tripods to collect equine biomechanics data
  • Two women standing behind a table with a Delsys Trigno surface electromyography system, smiling at the camera, in front of large monitors displaying equine sEMG waveforms and data, in a clinical setting with an equine treadmill.
  • A dark brown horse walking on a track, fitted with sensors for a scientific equine biomechanics research, led by a person in scrubs holding its lead rope.
  • A person wearing a pink helmet and black riding gear is jumping over a colorful obstacle on a brown horse in an outdoor equestrian arena while qualisys cameras capture equine biomechanics data.
  • Indoor equestrian arena with a person riding a white horse in front of a qualisys optical motion capture system. Another person operates the laptop and camera system.

Research and Consultancy Services

We offer bespoke equine research and consultancy services that translate cutting‑edge science into practical solutions for improving the locomotor health, athletic performance, and rehabilitation outcomes of horses. Services include, but are not limited to: designing and conducting research, product testing, quantifying the impact of interventions, developing evidence-based practice recommendations, knowledge transfer activities, performance analytics, and the development of education and CPD resources.

We are uniquely positioned to meet your research and consultancy needs through:

  • Over 10-years experience designing, conducting, and publishing high-quality equine research.

  • Expertise in the acquisition, analysis and interpretation of equine biomechanics data.

  • Access to state-of-the-art technology for quantifying equine:

    • Movement (kinematics): 3D optical motion capture (Qualisys), inertial measurement units (IMUs), computer vision/AI.

    • Muscle activity: surface electromyography (sEMG)

    • Forces (kinetics): force plate and pressure mats

  • Extensive professional networks that offer a collaborative and multi-disciplinary approach.

  • PhD in Equine Biomechanics and Neuromuscular Control

  • Experience conducting research for equestrian governing bodies (e.g. FEI) and industry partners.

Taken together, our specialist knowledge and expert guidance can provide solutions to simple or complex research questions related to equine locomotion and rehabilitation.
