How do I use HorseCare in training?
In order to use HorseCare, the sensors must be attached on top of the foot or forefoot protection (as described in the instructions) or the mono-sensor clip must be attached to the harness and activated (the blue light should flash). Then start the mobile app and start training. The data from the sensors will automatically be sent directly to your personal system cabinet.
Why do I even need this equipment?
The only purpose of HorseCare at this stage of development is the early diagnosis of any organic abnormalities in the horse that could potentially lead to lameness or similar problems. HorseCare should be treated as an attentive and sensitive assistant who will not miss even the slightest change in your pet’s movements and will immediately let you know about it. Using HorseCare allows you to start preventative measures at an early stage of the onset of lameness and eliminate or significantly reduce the duration of the disease.
Can I put the same sensors on different horses?
The sensor kit you have purchased can be used on any horse. But please note that each sensor set sends data to a separate account linked directly to your horse. You can certainly move the sensor set between your pets, but in that case, since the basis of the system is BigData, we cannot provide an accurate indication of the location of possible problems. It will be like a family photo from which your portrait will have to be highlighted. We recommend a combination of – 1 set of sensors – one horse.
Can the data be incorrect. In which cases?
Since the system is based on state-of-the-art data processing methods (BigData, AI and ML (machine learning)), the system is generally very good at correcting errors that occur during its use.
What can’t the complex take into account? If you have attached the sensors in such a way that they are not firmly attached to the leg during training and make additional chaotic movements during use.
How can the sensor be used when getting to know a horse with a view to purchase?
This project option is available in the premium package.
Here you get an in-depth analysis of the horse to be bought compared with the BigData which forms the basis of the system. We give a very precise assessment of the horse’s movement and prognosis of its prospects in the selected class.

Can sensors be used if I don’t know the horse’s weight and chip number?
Horse weight and RFID: essential details for the system’s operation
When renting a horse, owners don’t always have precise information about its weight or RFID chip number. However, these parameters are crucial.
The horse’s weight is necessary for calculating energy expenditure, determining balance, and identifying the center of gravity. Without this information, the system cannot perform its functions accurately.
As for identification, our cloud-based AI relies solely on the RFID chip. This unique identifier is the only reliable way to accurately recognize a specific horse. We’ve tested numerous alternatives, but this method is the only one that works consistently.
It’s important to note that providing the RFID chip information is the user’s responsibility. Without this element, the system cannot be used.
Is it possible to use one set of sensors for multiple horses?
Some owners working with multiple horses wonder if a single set of sensors can be used for different animals.
Technically, this is possible. However, such an approach comes with significant limitations. The initial data entered for the base horse remains unchanged, which means about 30% of the system’s functionality will be unavailable.
Why does this happen?
-Weight differences. The weight of a horse affects calculations, and using data from one horse for another will lead to errors.
-Unique signatures. Each horse has its own individual characteristics that the system recognizes. Attempting to transfer signatures from one horse to another disrupts accurate operation.
Therefore, our stance is clear: one set of sensors equals one horse. This is a fundamental rule to ensure the system’s precision and efficiency.
Why is it important to start recording training data manually?
At first glance, it may seem convenient for sensors to automatically begin recording as soon as they are placed on the horse. However, this approach presents several significant issues.
Accumulation of “noise” data
From experience, we know that there can be a delay of 30 to 45 minutes between saddling the horse and the actual start of training on the field. If sensors actively record during this time, the volume of irrelevant data could equal or even exceed the volume of useful information. This not only slows down analysis but also interferes with accurate sports analytics.
Distortion of training results
In the user dashboard, key metrics such as:
-training duration,
-distance covered,
-energy expenditure,
-and other parameters are displayed. If these calculations include time spent walking to the field or warming up before training, the data becomes less accurate. This is critical, as these metrics are used to assess the horse’s fitness and progress.
For this reason, manually starting the training recording via the app remains the best solution. It ensures that only relevant data essential for analysis is captured.
