Sleip renews sponsorship for EGAS Live Course in 2026
Sleip will continue its sponsorship of the EGAS Live Course 2026 — marking our 4 year supporting advanced post-graduate education in quantitative gait analysis for equine veterinarians.
In a groundbreaking move towards incorporating cutting-edge technology to increase horse welfare in equestrian sports, Fredrik Bergendorff, Head Coach of the Swedish national eventing team, has unveiled the impact of the Sleip app on their training methods. Speaking exclusively to Tidningen Ridsport, Bergendorff shared his thoughts on how the app gives knowledgeable insights of the way they work with their horses and revolutionizes the horse-rider relationship.
The Sleip app hailed as the team's favorite technological aid, focuses on identifying subtle deviations in a horse's movements. This innovation aims to catch potential lameness issues early on, enabling timely intervention and treatment.
Bergendorff explained, "The horse is filmed in walk and trot, from various angles, and even during longeing sessions. The app stores and analyzes this data. Subsequently, the footage is sent to the national team's veterinarian, Enar Tollig, for collaborative evaluation with the riders."

SLU, Sleip, and a number of private equine clinics have collaborated on a study showing how anatomical size-scaling helps align objective gait data with visual lameness assessments
This summer we conducted a survey about equine lameness for more than 100 equine veterinarians from the ISELP community.
