🎥 Smarter Movement Analysis with Sleip: How AI Is Helping Us Support Your Horse

At Rookery Equine, we’re proud to combine traditional hands-on care with the latest technology. One of the most exciting tools we now use is the Sleip app is a powerful, AI-based gait analysis system that’s helping us detect subtle changes in your horse’s movement with precision.

Whether you’re managing rehab, investigating a performance dip, or just want a clearer picture of your horse’s soundness, Sleip gives us instant, objective insights, right from a smartphone.

🔍 What Is Sleip?

Sleip is a smart video analysis tool that uses artificial intelligence to measure your horse’s stride symmetry, limb loading, and movement patterns in real time.

With a simple trot-up filmed on your phone, we can access clinical-level data that supports more accurate assessments and better-informed treatment plans.

🐴 How We Use Sleip

We integrate Sleip into many of our physiotherapy and rehabilitation services, including:

Initial and follow-up assessments
Rehab progress tracking
Ridden gait evaluations
Collaborative care with your vet or farrier
Remote video reviews between in-person visits

It’s a quick, non-invasive way to gather meaningful data, especially useful for subtle, intermittent, or early-stage issues.

🧠 Why It Matters

Not all asymmetry is obvious to the eye. Sleip allows us to:

Spot early signs of imbalance or discomfort
Monitor treatment response over time
Evaluate movement under saddle
Make your horse’s care plan more precise and proactive

And thanks to remote recording, you can send us a video from your yard—no waiting for an appointment.

🏇 Ridden Assessments, Refined

We also use Sleip during ridden sessions, helping us understand how your horse moves under the rider. It’s especially helpful when investigating saddle fit, rider balance, or performance plateaus.

📦 Want to Try It?

Sleip can be included as part of our vet physio assessments and ongoing rehab support. We’re also happy to invite you to record remotely and send us a video for analysis. (only available currently on iphone)
