Gait Analysis and Monitoring

Bringing technology and physiotherapy together for smarter equine care

At Rookery Equine, we proudly use the Sleip app as part of our physiotherapy and rehabilitation services. This AI-powered video analysis tool allows us to assess your horse’s movement with clinical-level precision, using just a smartphone.

🔍 What is Sleip?
Sleip is an advanced gait analysis app developed by leading equine biomechanic experts. It captures detailed data on your horse’s stride symmetry, limb loading, and movement quality in real time, providing us with fast, objective insights that support more accurate assessments and tailored care. Once assessment has been completed you will receive a PDF completed with all the data captured to share with your farrier, vet, physio etc.

🐴 How We Use Sleip at Rookery:
✔ In clinical assessments to support findings with measurable data
✔ To track rehabilitation progress over time
✔ After treatments or shoeing changes to evaluate outcomes
✔ To collaborate with vets, farriers, and trainers with clear, shareable data
✔ As part of ridden assessments, helping us analyse the horse’s movement under saddle, identify changes in gait symmetry, and assess the impact of rider balance, saddle fit, and training

🌍 NEW: Remote Recording & Client Collaboration (I phone required)
We can now invite you, or your trainer, farrier, or vet, to record your horse remotely using the Sleip app. Whether you're at home, at a show, or between appointments, this feature allows us to:

Assess your horse’s movement from a distance

Review progress between in-person visits

Provide timely feedback wherever you are

All you need is a smartphone and a few minutes to film on level ground, Sleip takes care of the rest.

💡 Why It Matters:
Detects subtle issues invisible to the naked eye

Provides evidence-based insights for better treatment

Tracks recovery and training progress over time

Enhances ridden assessments by providing data under saddle

Makes professional support more flexible and accessible

It’s not just technology, it’s teamwork, refined.
