Equestic
Equestic are our Official Training and Coach Development Partner, supporting our wider strategy for training and education and horse welfare as well as offering BD members exclusive discounts on their core products, the EQ Coach-Copilot app and EQ Saddle-Clip.
Equestic combines equestrian knowledge with artificial intelligence and product engineering to create practical training technologies for riders, coaches and equine professionals. Its mission to “help riders and coaches perform with care” closely aligns with British Dressage’s commitment to excellent horsemanship, effective training and horse welfare at every level of the sport.
When EQ Coach-Copilot and EQ Saddle-Clip are used together, training and horse development can be evaluated through objective trend analysis, enriched by the personal insights of both coach and rider.
The EQ Coach-Copilot app
The EQ Coach-Copilot app audio records lessons and uses AI to create structured text summaries that riders and coaches can revisit, while its Rider Reflections feature allows riders to capture thoughts and observations after a lesson, solo training, or competition. The app captures the key takeaways from every session, helping coaches and riders pick up where they left off and track progress over time, for a more effective learning process.
The EQ Saddle-Clip
The EQ Saddle-Clip is a lightweight motion sensor that clips to the saddle flap, records each ride and provides insights into the horse’s movement and training structure, including rhythm, impulsion, gaits, transitions, and symmetry. The data offers riders, coaches and their support teams to monitor progress over time, identify changes, and shape training with greater precision. The device complies with FEI rules and is approved for use at competition in dressage, showjumping, and eventing.
