The limbs are very sensitive. They are therefore all likely to experience lameness in the course of their lives. Whether you're a sport or leisure horse, it's vital to prevent lameness as far as possible, and find the cause before it occurs.
The Progression feature allows you to notice any deterioration in your horse's gaits and thus anticipate the onset of lameness. Once this analysis has been made, all you have to do is contact the horse health specialist who is most likely to find the cause of the lameness. The most common causes of lameness are limb, tooth or back problems.
On the other hand, if your horse is recovering from an injury and is facing a rehabilitation periodProgression can also be useful. For example, to keep a close eye on the evolution of working time at each gait. Or to check that your horse's condition is not deteriorating again. Finally, it also allows you to see starting point in rehabilitation and its end point at the end of rehabilitation..
To access the Progress feature, you must first collect data. And to collect this data, you need to have a CEEFIT or a CEEFIT and CEEFIT Pulse + ECG package. These tools will be a great help in monitoring your horse's progress on all the points we have raised above.
Last but not least, the new Progression feature of the Seaver application will enable you to clearly see the evolution of more than a dozen of your horse's locomotion, cardio and jumping parameters.
This gives you a better idea of your horse's development over time, the quality of your work and its state of health over the course of the year.
To find out more about how Progression can help you track your horses' health and performance, we're preparing an article in collaboration with professional rider Benjamin Stoutwho will share his experience of how Progression enabled him toanticipate his horse's lameness.
