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)

Equestic Coach-Copilot is the equestrian digital assistant app that creates a training diary for equestrian coaches and riders, making teaching more productive, and learning more effective, ultimately for better horse welfare. It is an AI-powered mobile app which helps riders retain important information about their training and works for all equestrian disciplines including: Dressage, Show Jumping, Eventing, Working Equitation, Western and many others. EQ Coach-Copilot for coaches records the audio of a lesson in real time, converts it into a clear text summary with key points which can be edited by the coach and shared with the rider for better guidance ahead of solo rides. EQ Coach-Copilot for riders gives a simple way to audio record thoughts, valuable insights from solo rides, and questions for their coach – Rider Reflections. The transcribed notes can be shared with the coach ahead of their next lesson giving full context of what has happened between lesson sessions. By combining the coach’s expertise with objective EQ Saddle-Clip data, EQ Coach-Copilot accelerates a rider’s ability for deep learning, making progress, and developing feel. This results in training that becomes more intentional and is always anchored in the horse’s welfare. Key Features for Riders: • Full diary of lesson summaries and coach's personal guidance that rider can refer to • Record questions, reflections and insights after training • Measure progress with objective data from EQ Saddle-Clip (rhythm, symmetry, impulsion, transitions and more) • All data stored remotely. Keeps phone space free. • Provide on-demand coaching reminders during solo rides (* coming soon) Key Features for Coaches: • Records and transcribes the lesson in your words and the way you teach • Stores it safely while keeping your phone space free • Summarizes your lesson for the rider without extra admin • Keeps track of your lessons over weeks and months for easy reference • Measure progress of your student with EQ Saddle-Clip motion data • Review and edit the lesson summary before sharing with the rider • Inform you on a rider’s challenges and training issues before the next lesson The EQ Coach-Copilot platform brings together three dimensions of intelligence: the coach’s expertise, the rider’s reflections, and the horse’s motion data via the EQ Saddle-Clip – making it a complete training companion that helps riders learn continuously, build consistency and make every ride count. For Dressage training Dressage training relies on rhythm, impulsion, straightness and precision. Correct aids for transitions or particular movements must happen quickly and correctly. EQ Coach-Copilot reminds the rider how to replicate those cues properly and with correct timing. In Show Jumping In Show Jumping, rhythm, adjustability, and straightness determine the quality of every jump. A crooked approach or unbalanced horse can cause a costly rail to fall. EQ Coach-Copilot will keep rider’s focus on desired pace and correct approach while practice jumps alone. For Eventing Eventing riders must manage precision, balance, and endurance across multiple phases, with the cross-county phase the most challenging. Riders must remember many things simultaneously and EQ Coach-Copilot helps riders retain key crucial instructions, especially before jumping solid obstacles at speed.
