Elin Hernlund honored with Ingvar Fredricson Foundation Scholarship
Our co-founder Dr. Elin Hernlund has been awarded the 2025 Ingvar Fredricson Foundation Scholarship, together with Professors Lars Roepstorff and Marie Rhodin (SLU).
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.
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.

New research using insurance data from over 15,000 Swedish Warmbloods highlights how sex, discipline, and early training impact orthopaedic disease risk. Co-authored by Sleip’s Elin Hernlund, the study offers based on population-level data for early detection and prevention in sport horses.
Trunk movement is now shown alongside head and pelvis — giving you an extra reference point when interpreting complex asymmetry patterns.
At Horsedoc in Denmark, founder Peter Hjuler hosted a lameness webinar with remote orthopaedic check-ups. The results revealed just how often early lameness goes unnoticed — and why detection matters.
Discover expert tips from Hilary Clayton on meeting the unique needs of sport horses while prioritising their well-being through the 5 essential freedoms of equine care.
Horses with lameness issues often adapt their movement to ease discomfort, which can produce compensatory movement asymmetries. This means a primary lameness in a forelimb can cause asymmetries in the hindlimb and vice versa.
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.
