Sleip expands expert support in North America
Dr. Jamie Textor, an experienced equine veterinarian and board-certified specialist in both Surgery and Sports Medicine, has joined Sleip.
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."
