EqiPad

Based in Swansea, Emily Rees

the founder of ESR Sports
Massage developed the
idea for the EqiPad riding
analytics app after being
actively involved in equine
sports and a key member of
the Commonwealth Games
2014 sports massage team.
Launched at BETA (British Equestrian Trade Association)
in February 2015, the app was collaboratively developed
with CEMAS to bring to market a unique solution to intelligent
horse riding. The specialist app and associated weight sensing
pad is aimed at horse owners/riders (able and para) market.
The idea is to increase the riders awareness of their riding
style, promote a good relationship between horse and rider,
promoting better riding technique through real-time audio
and visual feedback. In turn, the rider can make necessary
corrections to posture and weight distribution, which will help
enhance performance, improve application of aids (increasing
accuracy), balance and co-ordination and improve horse and
riders well-being.
The app also allows the data to be recorded, so that rider,
trainer and therapist can support development and riding
technique. The app has been designed to be easy to use,
with wireless communication to the sensors, allowing the
rider to perform without restrictions. Our current affordable
Android version has been launched on the Google Play
store for use on mobiles and tablets, but we do have plans
to develop an iOS version in the future.

From the beginning CEMAS believed and supported

my app concept, providing me with expertise,
valuable guidance throughout the development.
Working with CEMAS has helped me to achieve
my app to a very high standard and produce
an advanced prototype of my product. The team
were very supportive, offering expert advice and
allowed me to bounce my ideas creatively.

Wediu lleoli yn Abertawe,
datblygodd y sylfaenwyr Emily
Rees ai thad Ian Rees y syniad
ar gyfer yr ap dadansoddi
marchogaeth EqiPad ar l
cymryd rhan flaenllaw ym
myd campau ceffylau a bod
yn aelod allweddol o dm
tylino chwaraeon Gemaur
Gymanwlad 2014.
Cafodd yr ap, sydd wedi cael clod gan Gymdeithas Masnachu
Ceffylau Prydain (BETA), ei ddatblygu ar y cyd gyda CEMAS er
mwyn dod datrysiad unigryw i farchogaeth deallus ir farchnad.
Maer ap arbenigol wedii anelu at berchnogion/marchogion
ceffylau (abl a phara) er mwyn cynyddu eu hymwybyddiaeth
ou harddull marchogaeth, hyrwyddo cydberthynas dda rhwng
y ceffyl ar marchog ac annog gwell techneg marchogaeth
drwy adborth sain a gweledol amser real.
Wedyn, gall y marchog wneud y cywiriadau angenrheidiol
iw ystum ai ddosbarthiad pwysau, a fydd yn helpu i wella
perfformiad, gwneud gwell defnydd o gymhorthion (a chynyddu
cywirdeb), cydbwysedd a chydsymudiad a gwella lles y ceffyl
ar marchog. Maer ap hefyd yn caniatu ir data gael ei gofnodi,
fel y gall y marchog, yr hyfforddwr ar therapydd gefnogi
datblygiad a thechneg marchogaeth.
Dyluniwyd yr ap i fod yn hawdd iw ddefnyddio, gyda chyfathrebu
diwifr r synwyryddion, syn caniatu ir marchog berfformio heb
rwystr. Lansiwyd ein ap Android fforddiadwy presennol ar siop
