Global shortage of Equine Vets reaching Crisis point.

After hours work remains one of the greatest stressors in equine medicine. It impacts sleep, work life balance, decision making and long term career sustainability. For many practices, managing rotas fairly while maintaining high clinical standards is an ongoing challenge.

Studies show that burnout has had the knock on effect of contributing to a shortage of equine veterinarians. This creates a vicious circle. Fewer vets means more hours, more hours mean greater fatigue, and greater fatigue increases the risk of further burnout.

With Equimetrics V-PRO you get the data that leads to better decisions - sometimes even before the patient shows symptoms. Understanding when calls happen, what types of cases present, how long they take and how they affect teams is the first step toward building healthier and more sustainable systems.

Out of hours care will always be part of equine medicine. The question is how we manage it in a way that protects both patient welfare and practitioner wellbeing.

Every S-PRO kit includes the Equimetrics S-PRO Sensor, Saddlepad, and Stable Rubber. Simply replace your regular saddle pad with the S-PRO PAD, scan your horse’s microchip using the S-PRO Sensor, and place it in the holster - it’s that easy. S-PRO captures speed, stride, and heart rate, while also tracking route and terrain for detailed post-ride analysis. With onboard heart monitoring, it also records post-exercise recovery, offering insights into effort, fitness, and overall performance.

Horse racing could learn a lot from the Formula 1 data revolution.
F1 uses sensors and predictive analytics to reduce fatalities and improve performance.
Imagine applying that to equine athletes:
🔹 Wearables that predict injury risk
🔹 Data driven training and recovery
🔹 Technology that supports welfare and performance
It is not just about speed. It is about safety. The future of equine sport is data.

writes in about Horses being fitted with heart monitors to discover why they collapse in races Equimetrics device that weighs 2lbs is being trialled to provide reliable ECG readings and help establish if rate is out of rhythm

British racing is fitting horses with heart monitors in a trial to find out why some thoroughbreds collapse and die during races.

The first three horses were fitted with a “wearable” heart monitor in an under-the-saddle pad as the new equipment was trialled at Ascot last week.

Exercise Associated Sudden Death (EASD) in racehorses is a rare occurrence. It affects 0.04 per cent of starters, of which 0.02 are believed to be heart related. It is often hard for pathologists to prove in a post-mortem, and is an assumption in the absence of any other signs.

delighted to see Equimetrics S-PRO playing a part in such a crucial & timely piece of research.
・・・
ℹ️ Did you spot this at or over the weekend? 🤔

Manothepeople, Stoner’s Choice () and Gidleigh Park () became the latest horses to wear heart monitors on the racecourse as part of a BHA-backed pilot.

Wearable devices have been used in yards and on the gallops for some time. But now we’re testing their use under race conditions.

Why? Because these ‘equine fitbits’ can track a horse’s heart activity and rhythm, giving us an insight into their health and performance.

This is valuable data that is supporting vital scientific research into the cardiac activity of horses and how we may be able to identify those at greater risk of experiencing heart issues.

The early signs from the pilot are encouraging. We have established that the technology is safe and practical to use on the racecourse, and that we can gather accurate electrocardiogram readings under race conditions.

What started in May 2025 as a 10-race pilot has now been expanded to include more horses at more fixtures, with refinements to the kit and raceday processes.

The devices sit neatly in the saddle cloth and underneath the girth strap, so may only be visible in the pre-parade ring or unsaddling areas – you’d have to have been eagle-eyed to notice it 👀

The plan is to roll it out further in the months ahead so that the technology is used more widely 🏇

HOW AI IS BEING USED AT WORK There has been plenty of talk about how Al is helping people do more in the workplace but as yet, little detail about just how they are using it. Sarah Freeman finds out how some people are adapting to it.

Frank Long is founder of Equimetrics, an Irish equine tech company that manufactures smart wearable devices to record biometric data from horses including ECG, heart rate, stride analysis as well as effort and recovery rates.
“Ten years ago, we started working on developing AI solutions as part of our monitoring offering, analysing equine data and using it to interpret the stress, illness or any underlying injury of a horse,” he says.
