The Alerte Equine Science Saddle Cloth
In this tutorial, we walk through the features of the Alerte Equine Science Saddle Cloth and demonstrate how it captures crucial data during a horse's exercise session.
Key Features Explained in the Video
- Smart Data Collection: The saddle cloth features two main external pockets. The first houses the Wellness Monitor, which collects and records all session data. The second contains an RFID Scanner, which reads the horse’s individual neck microchip to automatically map the session to the correct horse in the Alerte Equine Science Analytics Platform.
- Maximum Comfort & Care: Designed with a soft velvet underlay, the cloth sits directly against the horse’s skin under the saddle, ensuring no fur is rubbed or removed during exercise.
- 100% Machine Washable: The outer cloth can be easily detached and thrown in the washing machine for hassle-free cleaning.
- Advanced Gait Tracking: Concealed inside the built-in channels are four compact sensors (housing an accelerometer and gyroscope) that gather precise AI-driven data.
- Early Lameness Detection: By monitoring individual leg management and tracking shifts in the horse's gait, this technology helps you pinpoint exactly where a horse may be experiencing discomfort or lameness before it becomes a major issue.
Simple to use, lightweight, and packed with AI insights—discover how the Alerte Equine Science Saddle Cloth can transform your equine management.

Watch How Alerte Equine Science Tracks Injury Risk
In this tutorial, we shift our focus from performance metrics to one of the most powerful and unique features of the platform: Risk Assessment. This session demonstrates how the dashboard tracks deviations in a horse's movement over time, providing early warning signals to help owners and riders identify soreness and prevent potential injuries before they worsen.
Key Features Explained in the Video
- Predictive Risk Modeling: Learn how the dashboard evaluates data patterns to assess the overall likelihood of an upcoming injury if a horse's gait mechanics continue to deteriorate.
- Gait-Specific Trend Analysis: View the "Performance Trends" tab to cross-reference a horse’s average speed with its specific risk level across different gaits, such as walking or trotting.
- Advanced Cadence Tracking: Deep dive into how independent measurements from each leg (using accelerometers to track speed and gyroscopes to map rotational axes) work in harmony to construct a precise profile of your horse's symmetry.
- Real-World Case Study (Early Detection): See a practical demonstration of the system in action. The tutorial highlights how a widening gap in a horse's trot cadence trends successfully alerted a team to structural asymmetry.
- Actionable Care Decisions: Discover how these automated alerts prompted a proactive rest period and a lightened exercise regimen, helping the team catch physical soreness right behind the saddle early on and ensure a safe return to the field.
By offering data-driven insights into structural abnormalities, the Alerte Equine Science Dashboard delivers a crucial safety layer that protects both the horse and the rider.
