An international-level horse was still training and competing when TrojanTrack began repeatedly flagging the same hind hock. What could easily have been ridden through instead prompted earlier investigation — and the issue turned out to be far more serious than expected.

What looks “normal” to the naked eye isn’t always the full picture. As research into equine biomechanics advances, riders now have access to tools that reveal subtle movement changes long before they become obvious.

Lameness assessment is highly subjective. What one rider calls “stiffness” may be clear lameness to another, and even experienced veterinary surgeons often disagree in subtle cases.

The trot has long dominated lameness assessment, but science is shifting the focus. The walk reveals subtle compensations, supports safer analysis, and offers richer insight into equine soundness. Here’s why TrojanTrack is built around walk-based gait analysis

The Breen Team has joined the TrojanTrack team to champion early detection and improved performance in horses. Using quick, smartphone-based gait analysis, TrojanTrack enables riders to spot subtle changes before they escalate, supporting both horse welfare and competitive success.

TrojanTrack has partnered with Hickstead, the home of British Showjumping, to showcase its cutting-edge equine movement analysis. Visitors can trial the system in a dedicated demo area this summer, experiencing firsthand how quick, smartphone-based gait analysis delivers detailed insights to support horse welfare and peak performance.

Could a 10-second walk save a horse’s sporting career? TrojanTrack believes so. By using AI-powered gait analysis, the app identifies subtle signs of asymmetry, often invisible to the human eye, that may signal early injury risk. All it takes is a video using your phone, offering trainers, riders and owners a fast, non-invasive tool to protect equine athletes before problems escalate.

TrojanTrack is an innovative AI-driven gait analysis app designed to detect early signs of injury in racehorses - using just your smartphone! The technology offers trainers, riders and owners a fast, objective, and affordable way to monitor soundness and reduce injury risk through daily biomechanical insights.

Racehorse injuries often appear without warning - but what if you could detect the earliest signs of trouble before a horse breaks down? TrojanTrack, a groundbreaking AI-powered gait analysis app developed by engineer Stephen O’Dwyer, is changing how trainers monitor equine soundness. Using just a smartphone and neural-network technology, it identifies subtle asymmetries in a horse’s movement, offering fast, objective insights that could revolutionise early intervention and equine welfare.
