Equimetre feature #1 – The comparison tool
The comparison tool, designed for quick and easy use, will enable you to analyse your horses under similar training conditions simply by selecting the same training day, the same type of work or the same intensity.
Locomotion data: what’s in it for the day-to-day work?
Locomotion data helps us to understand how a horse moves around the track, providing valuable information about its physical ability, fitness and potential. Every horse has its own stride, and the way in which its canter is constructed varies little throughout its life. By looking at the parameters of cadence and amplitude at a fixed speed, we can obtain indications of a horse’s theoretical preferred distance.
Weather conditions: how do they affect the performance of racehorses?
Weather conditions play a significant role in the performance of racehorses. Whether it’s temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, precipitation or atmospheric pressure, each factor can influence a horse’s performance on the track.
Conditioning of the athletic horse
The conditioning of the athletic horse takes place through physiological changes. During training, the body adapts to the loads applied to his various skeletal, muscular and cardiovascular systems.
How do these different systems adapt? What is the purpose of their conditioning?
Roxane and Laurent’s experience – Écurie des Carrés
We had the chance to talk to Roxane and Laurent, owners and riders at the Écurie des Carrés, which offers breaking-in, pre-training and sales preparation. They share with us their experience with Equimetre, and how they integrate it into their daily work with horses.
Fitness markers: what should you look for in a racehorse?
A racehorse’s recovery is one of the main indicators of its state of fitness. Analysed alongside the intensity of the work required, heart rate (HR) is an excellent indicator of the intensity of the effort made by the horse and its recovery after the effort. An optimal state of fitness is shown by the ease with which the horse recovers after exertion.
