Read a horse's conformation before it speaks through performance.

The trainer context

You regularly receive new horses, sometimes from several studs, sometimes from sales you did not attend. Your expert eye reads a lot immediately, but that reading remains qualitative: hard to fully transmit to your staff, your vet or the owner.

Your stakes:

• Standardize the arrival morphological assessment for every horse in the yard.
• Anticipate conformation-related fragilities (pastern, hock, back) to orient the programme.
• Share a common grid with your vets and owners.

What Hippik brings you

A structured arrival sheet

For each incoming horse: photo, 6 biomechanical angles, statistical positioning. You start the follow-up with an objective photograph of the initial conformation, which will serve as a reference if a suspicion of injury or asymmetry arises later.

A more efficient dialogue with your vet

Instead of a verbal description ("the fetlock is a bit closed"), you transmit a measurement ("right front fetlock angle in the lower Q1 of the cohort"). The vet prioritises targeted exams.

Clear communication with the owner

The Hippik report is a deliverable the owner understands: they see objectively where their horse sits, they validate your tailored training programme, and they become a partner in the decision rather than a passive spectator.

Concrete case

A trainer receives a 2-year-old for the winter season. On arrival, the Hippik analysis reveals a right hind pastern angle in the lower Q1. The trainer adjusts the conditioning programme to spare the hindlegs, alerts the farrier for a specific follow-up, and documents the initial observation. Six months later, the horse stays sound and performs at its first start.
