Kickstarter Campaign Launched for New Equine Bodysuit Linked to Mobile Application

Benoît Blancher is pleased to announce the launch of a new product on Kickstarter: A connected bodysuit that enables riders to remotely watch over their horse.

“For two years, we have been working on analyzing horses under exertion with the development of our first product, Equisense Motion, which gives riders the ability to access objective and reliable information about their training sessions,” says Blancher. “In retrospect, a horse only spends an average of an hour each day under the saddle and twenty-three hours in his stall–usually alone. We are convinced that the remaining twenty-three hours have as much impact on the horse’s well-being and health, as the one hour of work. This reflection is what led us to develop our second product, Equisense Care.”

Benoît Blancher, CEO of Equisense Building on its experience with Equisense Motion, the first product launched on Kickstarter (€171,100) last October, the young French startup created in September 2015 and currently made up of 16 passionate people, continues their purpose to optimize equestrian sport. Equisense Care has launched a Kickstarter campaign on November 21, 2016 with a funding goal set at €50,000.

Equisense Care is a connected bodysuit linked to a mobile application, which enables the rider to remotely follow his horse’s activity thanks to behavioral parameters. It also tracks the horse’s stress levels and state of health thanks to physiological parameters (such as heart rate, respiratory rate, and perspiration). The objective is to learn from the behavior of horses in order to optimize the balance of their lifestyle, reduce their stress and improve their health.

By rising to this new challenge, Equisense hopes to establish itself as the global market leader in connected objects for equestrian sports.
