Document the morphological quality of your production.

The breeder context

You know how much each foal represents a long, uncertain investment. You've worked your matings for years, you watch your foals every day, and you arrive at the sales convinced of what your horses are worth. But that conviction relies on your eye, your handwritten notes and the memory of past seasons.

Three recurring stakes:

• Traceability of a foal's morphological evolution, from birth to the sales.
• Objective valuation of a yearling against a demanding buyer who asks for figures.
• Understanding your bloodlines: which morphological traits does this stallion transmit on this broodmare?

What Hippik brings you

A standardized photographic follow-up year after year

One annual side photograph of each offspring, and you build a structured morphological dossier. You watch the foal evolve on key angles, you spot the horses that conform well and those that need targeted vet attention.

A quantified sales argument

At the sales, attach the Hippik report to your presentation pack. Professional buyers value transparency and rigor: a yearling positioned in the upper quartiles on performance angles defends itself better in negotiation.

A long-term reading of your matings

As you accumulate analyses over several years and several offspring, you build your own morphological knowledge base: which broodmares give the best shoulder angles? Which stallions correct a hock defect? Hippik turns your stud into a learning organisation.

Concrete case

A Norman breeder follows their 8 yearlings of the year with Hippik at backing time. They identify that one foal has a pastern angle in the lower Q1 — they decide to direct it to a more targeted sale and to manage its preparatory work with their vet to optimise presentation. The yearling sells well, in line with expectations, with no surprise at the pre-sale vet check.
