New global survey: 95% of orthopaedic vets say earlier detection could prevent more serious lameness cases
This summer we conducted a survey about equine lameness for more than 100 equine veterinarians from the ISELP community.
We are proud to share that our co-founder, Dr. Elin Hernlund, has been awarded the 2025 Professor Ingvar Fredricson Foundation Scholarship, together with Professors Lars Roepstorff and Marie Rhodin of the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU).
The award recognizes their pioneering contributions to equine biomechanics — advancing research and technology that help detect, diagnose, and prevent lameness with greater precision.
At Sleip, we combine biomechanics and AI to help detect and diagnose lameness issue early and increase precision in diagnostics. Elin’s research has been key to shaping our technology, turning science into a practical tool for vets, physios, farriers and trainers who need clear, objective gait data.
The scholarship will be presented during the Jönköping Horse Show on November 2, 2025, followed by a free public clinic with live demonstrations.
We warmly congratulate Elin, Lars, and Marie on this recognition and thank them for their outstanding contributions to equine health, performance, and welfare.
