Equestic, a leading equestrian performance technology company, focuses on the evolution of coaching and learning to accelerate education, advance performance, and improve horse welfare in the age of AI. Equestic is developing a unified platform combining the coach’s expertise, rider reflections, and horse motion data – the EQ Coach-Copilot.
EQ Coach-Copilot builds on the experience from the EQ Saddle-Clip, which collected real-world data from thousands of riders and horses worldwide in the past seven years. The Equestic Saddle-Clip is the world’s leading, multiple award-winning, consumer-grade equine sports wearable powered by AI algorithms with 99% precision. Data from the Saddle-Clip is processed by the Equestic Application and AI Platform, ensuring reliable storage and enabling deep insights.
This platform with a unique objective dataset, combined with the coach’s expertise, accelerates a rider’s ability for deep learning, making progress, and developing feel.
A first-of-its-kind solution: The only smart platform that helps coaches build personalized, data-backed training for every rider-horse pair.
Smart assistant: Automated transcription, lesson summaries, and searchable lessons diary, stored as structured training units.
Simple setup: One saddle wearable device and an easy-to-install app designed for daily use – no technical expertise needed.
IP rights by design: Access to all voice-only captured content is controlled by coach and rider - protecting their intellectual property rights.
Human-centered tech: Designed to complement the coach’s expertise, making highly personalized coaching more scalable and efficient - opening new business opportunities for coaches and global learning accessible for riders (e.g. remote coaching).
The EQ Saddle-Clip is approved for use in competitions by the FEI. EQ Coach-Copilot is available for download on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. We envision a future, where riders never feel alone in their solo training, coaches can extend their influence far beyond scheduled lessons, horses benefit from data‑driven, welfare‑first decisions, advanced coaching is accessible to every rider, everywhere, “feel” and “data” work in harmony.
