Equinnovate

Equinnovate develops AI-powered tools that help people understand horses through video-based morphometrics and biomechanical analysis. Its technology is designed to provide objective conformation scoring, gait assessment and movement data, supporting more informed decisions for breeders, professional buyers, veterinarians and trainers. The company also works with riders, judges and agents, exploring how deeper insight into a horse can inform selection, valuation, durability, performance and earlier detection of concerns.

Equinnovate describes its approach as combining the experience of horse people with better instruments. Products are developed alongside practitioners and tested in the field for more than two years before being considered ready, with expert feedback and real horses informing the models. The company’s research interests span equine biomechanics and locomotion, orthopaedics, imaging, rehabilitation, pain, welfare, behaviour, muscle physiology, morphology, breeding and genetics. It also welcomes research partnerships in areas including musculoskeletal modelling, physics-informed machine learning and 3D reconstruction. Equinnovate’s stated aim is to advance performance, welfare and transparency through ethical innovation.
