THE RACEHORSE TRAINER & OWNER

Equistat helping you accomplish the greatest performances!

Suppose you could know the hydration status, body mass, fat levels and cellular health of your horse with the touch of a button? This is now possible with Equistat.

Would instantly knowing your horse is dehydrated help you? Would this give you the cutting edge over your competitors? Well, here at Equistat we know it would.

Take a look at some research done by Dr Mike Lindinger, on just this subject, featuring cart racing in Canada. Would you have liked to back the 33/1 outsider, that went on to win it's race? This is testament to the power of knowing hydration status. All this was captured on film by the Discovery Channel – you can view the video by clicking on this link...

We all know that to perform at our best and to ensure continued, good all round health, we need to be properly hydrated. It is no different for our equine friends – except they are not able to tell you when they are thirsty. There are many danger zones and opportunities for a horse to quickly become dangerously dehydrated; working or training, travelling, exposure to heat, illness, or stress.

With Equistat, you can now tell in seconds whether or not your horse is hydrated.

Not yet convinced? Well, Equistat isn't just about hydration status. The Equistat Pro also gives you the knowledge and confidence to ensure that you give the correct drug dose, amount of wormer, quantity and type of feed. You can even monitor the overall health at a micro level by looking at the cellular health of your horse...

Essential for maximising performance.

THE PRIVATE OWNER

Owning a horse and being responsible for it's health is a big responsibility and can be a minefield, potentially costing a fortune. Horses are prey animals, so unlike dogs and other animals they do not whimper or whine, least they attract unwanted attention. So if your horse does not tell you who can?

How about a device that could talk for your horse: whilst also saving you thousands of pounds in veterinary fees in the long-term?

Equistat is by no means a replacement for veterinary visits. However, it can help prevent long-standing complications and assist you to pick up on early problems, allowing you to cure them before they cause any serious damage.

It is a fact that all concerned with equine health recommend that you regularly monitor correct body weight, together with condition scoring and assess the general fitness to help identify and remedy subtle changes in physical condition; with Equistat you can!

It might be self-explanatory that being under or over-weight can cause health problems. But sudden changes in body condition may also indicate an underlying medical disorder, presence of worms, incorrect feeding or exercise routine for the horse's needs.

With Equistat you instantly know the weight of your horse

Dehydration and it's consequences are a real challenge for horses – we all know that to perform at our best and to ensure continued, good all round health, we need to be properly hydrated. It is no different for our equine friends – except they are not able to tell you when they are thirsty. There are many danger zones and opportunities for a horse to quickly become dangerously dehydrated; working or training, travelling, exposure to heat, illness, or stress.

THE UNIVERSITY / RESEARCHER

Like all good things, Equistat is a result of many years of hard work, research, design and testing. The Equistat team consists of BIA specialists, electronic and programming experts and an Equine Professor from one of the world's leading Universities.  

Equistat started life with a ‘what if' conversation – “what if you could use BIA to assess horses, just think how this would improve their chances to win a race…………” None of the participants took long to be convinced that this was a challenge worth looking into. Using Bioelectrical Impedance analysis is nothing new, at least in humans, but in horses – well this would be a world first. Now over ten years have passed and with Equistat finally, fully in production: can we win that race?

Why not be one of the first to use Equistat in one of your research projects?

  • Nutritional status
  • Cellular health
  • Drug dosing                     The list is only as limited as your imagination!
  • Disease prevention
  • Hydration
  • Performance

If you have an idea or a potential project, why not telephone to talk it through with our dedicated team or e-mail info@equistat.co.uk

THE VETERINARY PRACTICE
