CLIENTS TESTIMONIALS
Our customers say it best.
EQUIMETRE VET from Arioneo established itself as a partner in the health and performance of the horse. The quality of the measurements is such that they can be used to develop a diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmia based on the recorded electrocardiogram.
For me, the main advantage of EQUIMETRE VET is the scientific validation of the ECG data and the heart rate functionality of the device. We know that the data we get is accurate. The other advantage is that we can incorporate data from different angles or perspectives such as speed, gaits, stride, and other values associated with locomotion.
The last advantage is that it is very user-friendly for trainers. The way trainers and riders collect data is easier than in the past and allows them to become part of the team and understand what we are doing.
EQUIMETRE VET is the only system that can be put on all kinds of sports horses to evaluate their performance, monitor the heart rate, and systematically collect the ECG even at full speed. It can be used not only with racehorses but with all sports horses. The great advantage is that you can let trainers and riders train normally, even without the presence of a vet, and still have their ECG to analyse remotely.
For a long time, we have had well-established habits. What is interesting today is our ability to be increasingly precise in debriefings. Having reliable and easy-to-use equipment is very appealing. This year, we were able to cover three gallops with Equimetre. The quality of analysis and the data’s precision are interesting and beneficial for everyone.
The data we obtain reassures us in our practice. We had already used other technologies before Arioneo, so we did not start from scratch. Things are accelerating. This may sound a bit presumptuous, but it is true to say that these tools provide us with real security. I am glad to have evolved in this direction, combining field experience with data acquisition. I have been fortunate to live in an era where this was possible, and I am satisfied with it.
I use EQUIMETRE VET, recommended by Julie Dauvillier. This system is simple to use, with a comfortable strap for the horse that records all data via a chip. This data is then accessible via an application that allows detailed tracking. It enables us to refine our feelings and have constructive exchanges after the sessions.
For every gallop, I put the EQUIMETRE VET on my horses. It provides me with precise feedback on their training and fitness levels. I send this data to Cris and Julie, who give me detailed feedback. It’s a valuable tool, especially during competitions, where we can get precise insights into the horses’ performances. I’ve also spoken with jury presidents to explain the benefits of this tool, allowing me to use the EQUIMETRE VET during my eventing competitions. One day, I hope all riders will be able to use regular data to prevent injuries. If a horse pushes past his limits, we’ll be able to intervene before any harm occurs, especially during competitions.
I’m very happy to be using Arioneo’s EQUIMETRE VET. We’ve been using it since the start of the season for all the horse’s preparation, for all the gallops we’ve done, and thanks to it, we’ve been able to see the horse’s evolution in his gallops. Knowing exactly when his peak form is, and seeing his recovery. We’ve been able to follow this very closely and see that our horse is really in shape and ready for every event.
Connected medicine quantifies the anomalies we see or feel. Being able to quantify exactly what’s going on objectively is a real tool. But it doesn’t replace what I see: the way the horse limps, how he places his limbs, the trajectory of the horse, the limb, the fetlock… it‘s really a supplement.
I find that having objective indicators can help support my diagnosis or hypothesis, and that’s very interesting. Continuing to try and understand what’s in front of us, having a complementary, reliable examination to monitor horses’ locomotion. What’s great about Arioneo is that the team is always on hand to answer questions and guide us in using the equipment, as well as interpreting the data.
Our experience with Equisym has been excellent. The system is user-friendly, the sensor holders work effectively, and we find the app interface very intuitive. The ability to use an iPad to access all the data, record videos of the horses, and analyze their strides in slow motion alongside the captured data is particularly interesting. Additionally, having the option to review the data online adds to the convenience, making the entire process seamless and efficient.
Using Equisym, we identified bilateral hindlimb lameness that typically would have required additional tests such as lunging or flexion assessments to detect. Thanks to the precise values provided by Equisym, we could pinpoint the bilateral lameness—a diagnosis that wasn’t apparent using other systems we were testing.
I try to have an EQUISYM exam every week. It gives me a follow-up and a look at my locomotion.
I especially try to do one before and after the competition. Before to make sure that everything’s going well, and then when he gets back from the competition, to make sure that he’s had a good competition and that everything’s going well. Ideally, the vet should check up on him once a week. It’s really a follow-up on the regularity of his locomotion.
EQUISYM is a really great tool, which we use every Monday morning. We install the device on the mare and all the sensors and then we see if sometimes there’s a tiny irregularity that we might not see with the naked eye or feel when we’re on it. It’s really a great tool for prevention.
