Example – Adapting the race distance to win
Arionea, a 4yo filly, showed good results over 1100m in her 2 year old season. However, she did not progress over this distance the following season despite promising fitness abilities. To understand this situation, Arionea’s trainer decided to analyze the mare’s data.
Data from the Equimetre platform
However, he found nothing abnormal in the mare’s cardiac data. In fact, the data presented above show a good fitness: the recovery capacity is qualified as normal immediately after the effort, as well as 15 minutes after. Following this observation, the trainer decided to look at another type of data: locomotion.
The results will show that according to her acceleration strategy, Arionea would be more comfortable over a longer distance. Want to know more? All the analysis is detailed in our case study which you can find here.

Example – Detect a heart failure thanks to data
Arion, a 4 yo gelding who has never raced, arrives in a new stable. He quickly showed signs of premature fatigue in training. The trainer decided to equip his horse with Equimetre in order to track his training and obtain real information about his physiological functioning.
Data from the Equimetre platform
The horse monitored during a canter showed a very high heart rate during exercise, exceeding 250 BPM. What is the reason for this heart rate? What impact did it have on Arion’s career? The answer in this case study.

Owners are not necessarily near the training center, they can’t see their horses every week. With Equimetre, they can use the data from the sensor, everything is sent to their email address. They can follow their horse’s trainings and also ask questions based on the results. It allows them to be involved in the training, they are really part of the team.
