Inspired by Experience

Californian Ingenuity Meets German Engineering

Life and death inevitably go hand in hand. And yet it is one of the most difficult experiences in our lives.

Experiencing the loss of a beloved horse, which is much more than just an animal - a best friend, a comforter and a family member - can be deeply traumatic. For they are part of our family and their loss hurts just as much as the loss of a human friend or family member.
What is even more painful is when this loss could have been prevented.

Founder Cristiano Estrada had to agonizingly experience this himself when his beloved pet passed away due to an incident. Getting a call that something was wrong with his pet and not having any idea when it started, how it happened or what it could be was as traumatic as looking into its eyes and saying goodbye forever. A feeling of guilt arose when the veterinarian said, “If you had brought her sooner, she would have survived.”

A few months passed by and those same emotions reemerge when a loving horse was having severe episodes of Colic. From that moment on, it became his personal calling to invent a technology that would detect life-threatening abnormalities and alert horse owners and veterinarians early in the stage to prevent from becoming a tragedy.

Together with an international team of engineers, designers and horse professionals across the globe, we have made it our mission to prevent the feeling of grief over an unexpected loss of a beloved horse. Today, we are proud to share Cabasus with all riders, the technology that detect abnormalities in the health of horses at an early stage. Because they are more than just animals, they are part of our family, and we should always protect our family.

CABASUS – The Most Advanced AI-Powered Equine Movement Intelligence Platform

CABASUS is an advanced equine movement intelligence platform designed to transform how horses are monitored, trained, rehabilitated, and understood. By combining ultra-sensitive wearable sensor technology with artificial intelligence and proprietary biomechanical analysis, CABASUS provides objective insights into horse movement that are difficult or impossible to obtain through traditional observation alone.

Unlike conventional horse monitoring systems that rely primarily on cameras, heart rate sensors, stopwatches, or subjective visual evaluations, CABASUS directly measures the horse's biomechanical movement using highly sensitive wearable SmartBoots™ equipped with advanced motion sensors. Because data is collected directly from each limb, analysis is independent of camera angles, lighting conditions, arena setup, weather, or human interpretation.

The platform continuously evaluates how every limb moves throughout each stride, generating detailed biomechanical information that helps riders, trainers, veterinarians, rehabilitation specialists, farriers, breeders, researchers, and horse owners better understand movement quality, performance, recovery, and potential health concerns.

Comprehensive Horse Monitoring for Every Discipline

CABASUS has been designed for professional sport horses, rehabilitation centers, veterinary clinics, breeding farms, training facilities, riding schools, and everyday horse owners.

Whether monitoring an Olympic-level show jumper, a dressage horse, an endurance athlete, a racehorse, a leisure horse, or a horse recovering from injury, the system adapts to different use cases through dedicated activity modules.

Each monitoring module has its own recommended minimum recording duration depending on the type of analysis being performed. Unlike systems limited to fixed recording sessions, CABASUS allows users to continue collecting biomechanical data for as long as needed, enabling both quick evaluations and long-term monitoring during entire training sessions or rehabilitation programs.

Advanced Biomechanical Movement Analysis

CABASUS analyzes hundreds of biomechanical parameters to generate a complete picture of equine locomotion.

The platform evaluates:

  • gait symmetry

  • stride quality

  • limb loading

  • movement consistency

  • propulsion

  • suspension

  • impact patterns

  • acceleration

  • deceleration

  • balance

  • movement efficiency

  • coordination

  • compensation strategies

  • fatigue indicators

  • recovery progression

  • long-term movement trends

Rather than simply measuring activity or counting steps, CABASUS focuses on how the horse actually moves.

This enables objective biomechanical analysis that supports training optimization, injury prevention, rehabilitation planning, and performance development.

Early Detection of Asymmetries

One of CABASUS's most valuable capabilities is detecting subtle movement asymmetries before they become visible to the human eye.

Even very small changes in gait symmetry may indicate discomfort, fatigue, compensation patterns, or the beginning of a musculoskeletal issue.

Early identification allows owners and professionals to investigate potential problems sooner, helping support informed management decisions and reducing the risk of training a horse through developing movement abnormalities.

Pain Localization Support

Movement asymmetries rarely occur in isolation.

Through advanced biomechanical pattern recognition, CABASUS helps identify which limb or body region is most likely associated with abnormal movement patterns.

Rather than simply indicating that "something is wrong," the platform provides detailed movement intelligence that helps narrow the area requiring further clinical evaluation.

This information supports veterinarians during examinations and allows owners to better communicate observed movement changes.

CABASUS is not intended to replace veterinary diagnosis, but to provide objective biomechanical data that assists professional decision-making.

Rider Influence Analysis

Horse movement changes significantly once a rider is mounted.

CABASUS includes dedicated algorithms capable of analyzing the influence of the rider on the horse's biomechanics.

The system can compare movement with and without the rider, helping identify:

  • asymmetries introduced while ridden

  • rider balance influence

  • uneven weight distribution

  • changes in movement efficiency

  • alterations in stride characteristics

  • differences between riders

  • effects of saddle adjustments

  • improvements during rider training

This provides valuable objective information for trainers, riders, physiotherapists, saddle fitters, and equestrian professionals seeking to optimize horse-and-rider performance.

Performance Optimization Through Biomechanics

Elite performance depends on efficient movement.

CABASUS allows riders and trainers to monitor how changes in conditioning, training programs, equipment, shoeing, footing, rehabilitation, or riding technique affect biomechanical performance over time.

Instead of relying solely on subjective impressions, decisions can be supported by objective movement data collected during real training sessions.

The result is a deeper understanding of how each horse performs under different conditions and how small biomechanical improvements can contribute to better efficiency, consistency, and long-term athletic development.

Rehabilitation Monitoring

Recovery is rarely linear.

CABASUS enables rehabilitation professionals and horse owners to objectively monitor recovery progress throughout each stage of treatment.

By comparing historical movement data with current performance, the platform helps visualize improvements, detect setbacks, monitor compensation patterns, and evaluate the effectiveness of rehabilitation protocols.

Long-term biomechanical records provide valuable insight into whether a horse is returning toward its normal movement profile.

Professional Technology Designed for Everyday Use

Although developed with professional biomechanics in mind, CABASUS has been designed to be accessible for everyday horse management.

Owners can regularly monitor their horses at home, while veterinary hospitals, rehabilitation centers, professional riders, universities, and research institutions can use the same technology for advanced clinical and scientific applications.

This flexibility makes CABASUS suitable for both casual monitoring and high-performance professional analysis.

Wearable Technology Instead of Camera Estimation

Many equine analysis systems rely on external cameras or video processing.

Camera-based systems may be affected by:

  • camera positioning

  • recording angle

  • distance

  • lighting conditions

  • occlusion

  • arena setup

  • calibration

  • environmental interference

Heart rate monitoring systems provide physiological information but cannot directly describe how each limb moves biomechanically.

CABASUS takes a fundamentally different approach.

Ultra-sensitive wearable SmartBoots™ mounted directly on the horse continuously capture precise biomechanical movement from every limb during real activity.

Because measurements originate from the horse itself rather than external observation, movement analysis remains consistent regardless of recording environment.

This approach provides richer, repeatable, and more objective biomechanical data for movement evaluation.

Built on Real Equine Data

CABASUS has been developed using one of the largest proprietary equine movement datasets available.

Built from more than 6,000 horses, over 30,000 hours of testing, and years of continuous research and development, the platform continues to evolve through ongoing data collection, biomechanical research, and collaboration with riders, trainers, veterinarians, rehabilitation professionals, stable managers, and horse owners.

Its movement intelligence models are refined using real-world equine biomechanics across multiple disciplines, breeds, ages, training levels, and rehabilitation scenarios.

A Complete Equine Movement Intelligence Ecosystem

CABASUS is far more than a horse tracker.

It is an integrated equine intelligence platform that combines wearable sensor technology, biomechanics, artificial intelligence, movement analysis, rehabilitation support, rider influence evaluation, asymmetry detection, performance optimization, pain assessment support, long-term monitoring, and objective decision support into a single ecosystem.

Whether the goal is preventing injuries, improving athletic performance, monitoring rehabilitation, evaluating rider influence, detecting early asymmetries, or understanding equine biomechanics in greater depth, CABASUS provides objective movement intelligence designed to support better decisions throughout every stage of a horse's life.
