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).
ICEEP is an international conference that brings together the world's best researchers and experts in equine exercise physiology and sports medicine. One of the hosts of the event was our own Elin Hernlund, DVM/Phd and one of the founders of Sleip. The event also saw the first presentation of Elin’s and her team of researchers validation study: Changes in pelvic axial rotation following diagnostic analgesia in hindlimb lame horses.
“We found that the rotation of the horse's pelvis (seen from behind) has a fingerprint pattern for different individuals. In fact they display variations to a given theme of movement. This pattern changes when the horse suffers from lameness. More and more we understand the importance of following the motion pattern of the individual horse over time”, says Elin.

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.
