No — Sleip does not diagnose lameness. It provides precise and objective measurements of asymmetry, including colour-coded indicators of the levels of asymmetry, from mild to severe. These measurements are designed to support veterinary diagnostic work as asymmetries in movement may indicate that the horse is unloading a painful limb to reduce strain.

Yes. Under the horse's name, tap the comparison icon (two overlapping squares). Then select any two recordings you'd like to compare.

You’ll find detailed guides in the app — just tap the information (i) icon next to the data you want to explore. You can also visit the User Guides section on our website, and explore additional resources on our Webinars and Case studies pages. Our Articles pages feature interviews with users and useful blogs. .

Here’s a quick guide to the icons you’ll see on recordings:

Straight line recording

Directional arrows indicate a longeing recording (left or right circle)

A syringe indicates that the recording has been labeled with a diagnostic analgesia performed

A helmet means that a rider was detected in the recording

The information icon lead to guides on interpretation of data and views

Trends icon. This feature allows you to view longitudinal asymmetry data displayed chronologically in a clear trend graph. Tap the icon in the recording list of the selected horse. You can only view a trend for one horse at a time and you need recordings from at least 4 different days to generate a pattern.

Comparison icon. This feature allows you to compare any two analysis results. Simply tap the icon and select any to analysis to access a comparison view. This will also give you the percentage difference between the two measurements. The feature is particularly useful in evaluating the effect of diagnostic analgesia and to document progress.

Edit icon. You can edit details on the horse's profile page and add or change profile image at any time.

Shared access to record. Tap this icon to manage invitations and access to record a horse remotely.

Export and share results using this icon, via web link or PDF.

Download icon. You can access this from the Analysis video view to download the analysis video.

Avoid having other horses moving in front of the camera while recording a horse trotting if you can. Other moving horses can affect the video processing and cause issues, sometimes leading to delayed results. Horses standing still usually don't cause any issues.

Yes, to evaluate your data correctly, you need to longe the horse in both directions, at least during your baseline measurement. This is because every horse shows certain asymmetry patterns on a circle, which is due to circle-induced asymmetries. To be able to assess these asymmetries correctly, a combination of the left and right circles is needed. Remember to longe the horse in one direction per recording.
