Equine gait analysis app for lameness diagnostics and monitoring

Webinar: From data to action – Objective gait analysis in equine health management

Join this comprehensive session on  how objective gait analysis technology and data can support equine health practitioners in enhancing decision-making and improving patient outcomes. Discover how this technology aids in monitoring horses, evaluating interventions, and fostering collaboration across the care team, from farriers to physiotherapists.

Measure the horse's movements straight from iPhone video

Sleip's markerless technology uses artificial intelligence motion analysis to detect and quantify asymmetries in the horse's movement pattern.

Capture even subtle asymmetries

The way a horse moves reflects how it feels. Sleip pioneers the translation of this narrative, drawing on AI and the science of equine biomechanics to decode subtle changes in gait. Our mission is to make motion analysis simple and accessible. No extra hardware required – just an iPhone.

Why objective gait analysis?

We believe in the value of data to support decisions and dialogue about horse health. 

The biggest argument for using objective gait analysis when assessing horses lies in the physiological limitations of the human eye. These very sensitive measurements detect asymmetries invisible to the naked eye, increasing precision in lameness diagnostics and supporting early detection of issues.

All you need is an iPhone 

Until recently, objective gait analysis was reserved for use in larger clinics and research institutions due to the cost of the equipment and the complexities of setting up. Access to the Sleip app is provided through monthly subscription plans adapted to the size and needs of your business. Subscriptions start from €150 or $170/month.

  • Scientifically validated gait analysis
  • Easy-to-use interface
  • Precise asymmetry measurements in minutes 
  • Slow-motion analysis video 
  • Securely share videos and data

Scientifically validated precision

Sleip’s AI algorithms detect and track key points on the horse's moving body from videos recorded through the app.  At the heart of our technology lies innovations in computer vision, a specialised sub-field of artificial intelligence that mimics human visual understanding, but far surpasses our cognitive capabilities. The precision of Sleip is validated against a state-of-the art motion capture camera system using reflective markers, showing an insignificant mean error of only 2 mm.

"As a perfectionist, I prioritize the well-being of my horses and our performance together. Since horses can't communicate in words, we must rely on understanding their signals. Sleip helps my vet, and me achieve this."

"It’s great to have a tool like Sleip to back up your opinion and to be able to show precise metrics of any movement irregularity. It can work a bit like the cameras used for replay in ice hockey or football to prove your point."

"Screening my client’s horses for asymmetries that are not visible to the eye has proven valuable for discussions with my veterinary colleagues when there are signs of limited function."

"Sleiping my horses is a routine that allows my vet and I to stay one step ahead, it helps us pick up on potential injuries or issues before it gets serious. My horses and I are a team, and as a rider I want to do everything I can to ensure their welfare."

"Those that live in fear of tech replacing vets are missing the point. This is a tool to make you better. Sleip is better at seeing small things than what we are.“

"I think Sleip can be pivotal for improved horse welfare. It helps me detect changes at an early stage, so I can make better decisions about training load and rest, and has significantly eased communication between me and my vet."

”Sleip is an unparalleled complement to my subjective lameness evaluation of a patient. What's more, by inviting clients to send me recordings we can monitor progress together, remotely.”

"We follow all the horses in the national XC team of Sweden to try to see it before it happens. This is one way to make sure that the athletes get the best possible care.”

"This is useful for any sport horse in any discipline, as all can be susceptible to a higher risk of injury from training and/or competition."

“Sleip is a really good tool for monitoring horses in training, for early detection of lameness, and it’s also very useful at the clinic. We use it to help identify the lame limb, and for comparisons before and after diagnostic analgesia for example.”

"We used to rely on our own memory and old videos from our phones, but now with Sleip, we’ve got hard data. It helps us confirm what we suspect and track progress or problems in a much more accurate way."
