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).
We’re thrilled to support this fantastic initiative by two of the most experienced professionals in equine biomechanics, Marie Rhodin and Emma Persson-Sjödin. They’ve created comprehensive courses tailored for veterinarians and equine professionals like physiotherapists, farriers, and trainers to deepen their understanding of objective gait analysis—and to learn how to effectively use Sleip.
These two-day courses provide practical knowledge and hands-on tools to help you integrate gait analysis into your practice. Get a 10% discount with a promo code Sleip10.
Meet the experts
Marie Rhodin, DVM, Dipl. ACVSMR, ECVSMR
A professor at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Marie has over two decades of experience in equine biomechanics and orthopedics. Her research focuses on gait analysis, lameness detection, and horse-rider interaction, and she has published more than 80 peer-reviewed scientific papers.
Emma Persson-Sjödin, DVM, PhD
Emma specializes in equine biomechanics research and orthopaedic diagnostics. She obtained her PhD with a focus on interpreting movement asymmetries in horses and improving diagnostics using objective systems. She divides her time between research, clinical work at the University Equine Clinic, and lecturing in equine anatomy.
