About
Horsepal is a comprehensive equine health monitoring system that combines purpose-built hardware with a smart mobile app to help riders and trainers optimize horse performance and wellbeing. At its core, the Horsepal equine heart rate monitor syncs wirelessly with the app to provide continuous cardiac data during training and recovery — enabling users to detect stress, fatigue, and fitness trends over time. The English saddle phone holder integrates seamlessly into the rider's setup to deliver accurate gait analysis and symmetry tracking, helping identify subtle movement imbalances that can indicate injury risk or training issues. The companion Health Check Kit rounds out the ecosystem with the first-ever extra-long equine thermometer, designed specifically for horses, making routine health checks faster and more reliable. Ride data is automatically logged and stored in the app, allowing riders to review sessions, compare performance over time, and share records with veterinarians or coaches. The platform is suited for competitive equestrians, professional trainers, and dedicated horse owners who want to move beyond guesswork and embrace evidence-based equine care. Whether monitoring a sport horse's conditioning program or keeping tabs on a leisure horse's health, Horsepal provides the tools to make informed, proactive decisions about horse welfare.
