our mission...

is to bring evidence based medicine to the equine industry but in particular Horse owners. We will focus on non-invasive products that assist in extending the competitive life and optimise the performance of horses involved in equine sports activities e.g:  Dressage, show jumping, racing etc. Owners are often at a disadvantage when trying to assess their horse's wellbeing and soundness.  A slight alteration in gait or performance can be nothing at all or it can be the start of a terminal problem.  The difficulty facing the owner/rider is What to do next?  Should the vet/farrier/saddler/ physio be called?  Is this over reaction? What will the insurance company say and will they then start applying exclusions even though nothing was found?

Gait analysis will not impact on your equine insurance.  Obviously if a definite clinical condition is found and claimed for then this is an insurance issue but if the horse is being monitored and minor alterations made to farriery or some other aspect of his care, this is not an insurance issue.

EquiStep can analyse the horse's movement to pinpoint step length differences, in addition to biomechanical analysis of the whole horse to either  help diagnose problems or potential problems at a very early stage or concisely monitor recovery from injury.

Independent veterinary or farriery consultation is available at modest additional cost.

All information will be presented to the client on a cd, with a brief written report if required.

All screenings are confidential between the Client and EquiStep.
