Sleip expands expert support in North America
Dr. Jamie Textor, an experienced equine veterinarian and board-certified specialist in both Surgery and Sports Medicine, has joined Sleip.
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.

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

Sleip is excited to announce the release of a monitoring version of its gait analysis app to enable earlier detection of potential issues, improve referrals to and from veterinarians, and establish individual baselines for each horse's movement.

Dr. Hilary Clayton shares insights from her research journey at the McPhail Equine Performance Centre, where she tackled innovative studies on bits, rein tension, and equine biomechanics.
We caught up with Isabelle Fredricson to discuss her PhD research on improving horse well-being through strategic movement monitoring, training, and rest.
Vet, researcher, and horsewoman Hilary Clayton, BVMS, PhD, Dipl. ACVSMR, FRCVS is a legend. We’re thrilled to announce she’ll be writing a series of blogs for Sleip.
Sleip is used by vets all over the world. See what Marie Rhodin, DVM, DECVSMR, and associate professor, has to say about her experience with the Sleip app.
