Technologies for measuring horse well-being

The project researches and develops technologies enabling the measurement of horse well-being. We use the latest technology in the project, such as IoT solutions. The duration of the project is 4/2022-11/2023. The project has been implemented with the support of the Center for Business, Transport and the Environment.

For us, it's about promoting the holistic well-being of the horse. The measurement technologies are based on a comprehensive system, where the measurement takes place of the horse itself, the environment and interactions with people. Our goal is to understand better and thus enable solutions that support the horse's well-being in the best possible way.

The project is divided into three areas

1. Horse welfare
   We collect heart rate data from the horses, the amount of free movement and the time spent lying down. This whole also includes the measurement of the effects of the training.
2. The horse's habitat
   We measure the air quality and general living conditions of the horse stable and yard.
3. Human influence on the horse
   In cooperation with coaching professionals, we measure the rider's influence on the horse, such as feel and weight distribution.

We are currently looking for partners for our project's starting technology pilots. You can be a horse owner, trainer or, for example, a stable entrepreneur. If you are interested in collaborating, want to network or hear more about the topic, feel free to contact us!

Optimization of garage air

The project investigates the possibilities of measuring air quality in order to optimize the horse's living conditions. The project is in the pilot phase and the service can now be used at a pilot price. Get the equipment for your use among the pioneers from the Stable air optimization page.

In the ongoing pilot, we use remote-readable measuring equipment, which allows us to measure air quality in real time. The measurement points are placed in different parts of the stable, such as for example in the pen, in the corridor and one is always also outside. In this way, we get comparable numbers inside and outside, and we can monitor the effects of outdoor air fluctuations on the stable air and take care of maintaining the optimal temperature in real time. By following the numbers, it is also possible to identify in time, for example, air conditioning malfunctions or other deviations.
