Orscana is a connected sensor that can be fixed on any type of blanket. It analyses the movement (time spent lying, degree of activity, ...), the temperature under the blanket and also detects sweating. Fixed onto the blanket using its attaching mechanism, Orscana helps one choose the most appropriate blanket for the comfort of horses in the stable, before and during transportation. It reports the horses' activity during the previous night and anticipates their needs for the next one by consulting the weather forecast. Orscana notifies in case of abnormal activity, sweating or when the horse leaves its comfort zone. Please note, a sensor is necessary for the usage of this application.

EI Potential shows you for the first time how much effort a training session truly cost your horse — not what you think your horse did, but what he actually did and how intensively he experienced it. Data alongside your feel for the training: that's where improvement begins. Walk, trot, canter — in proportion: How much time did your horse spend in each gait, and what did it demand from their body? EI Potential analyses not just the duration of your training, but which gaits were asked and how intensive that was for your horse. Know before your horse shows you: Heart rate data shows when you're asking a lot — or a little. Per session, per exercise. Not every session should be intense — but do you actually know which one it was? And how does today's training relate to yesterday's, and to what's planned for tomorrow? Training in context — across days, weeks and months: One session tells you little. Optimisation comes from recognising patterns: are you building fitness, or accumulating fatigue? EI Potential analyses how trainings relate to each other over time — so you make the right decisions not just today, but next week and next month. What's normal for your horse? Every horse is different. EI Potential builds your horse's personal baseline — and shows you when he's ready for more, or needs a break. Insights based on his individual condition, level and training history. Your horse. Your team: Multiple riders training your horse? Add your trainer or fellow rider and everyone trains from the same overview. No miscommunication, no missed sessions — one shared picture for everyone who works with your horse. Your horse deserves more than a gut feeling: Based on his training data, your horse receives personalised advice — backed by science. Not generic, but tailored to what he actually needs. How to start: Requires a Bluetooth heart rate sensor with chest strap, such as the Polar H10 (sold separately). Connect your sensor, activate your horse, and start your first training. EI Potential gives you the data and confidence to be the best trainer for your horse. REQUIRES: Bluetooth heart rate sensor with chest strap, such as the Polar H10 (sold separately, approx. €199)
