Science-based equine EEG · in motion

You feel it. Now see it.

Horses show us a lot, and hide even more. EquiBrain reads your horse's brain while it moves and shows you what is going on inside, as it happens.

What it is

Years of feel. One layer deeper.

You already read your horse. EquiBrain doesn't replace that, it extends it. Horses show a lot, but they also hide a lot, because they have learned to comply or simply don't show it. A light EEG cap records brain activity during real work: under saddle, on the lunge, in the stable. Our visualisation turns the signal into something you read at a glance.

  1. 01

    Measures in movement

    Most EEG needs a horse standing still. Ours works where learning actually happens: in motion.

  2. 02

    Real-time visualisation

    Watch agitation, engagement and calm unfold second by second, not in a report weeks later.

  3. 03

    Your knowledge, extended

    Mark moments, compare sessions, see progress. Put a picture on what you sense, and discover what your horse doesn't show.

Science-based

Grounded in neuroscience. Proven in the stable.

EquiBrain combines the latest EEG research with breakthrough AI algorithms, developed in-house. That combination is what lets us read the brain of a horse in motion and show it in real time. We validate every measure together with scientists, veterinarians and trainers, and we are open about what we know and what we are still learning.

  • The latest EEG researchCurrent EEG and equine neuroscience research as our foundation.
  • Breakthrough AI, built in-houseOur own algorithms read the signal while the horse moves, and turn it into a live picture.
  • Validated in the fieldTested with real horses, in real stables, clinics and arenas.

The app & Workbench

The mind of your horse, live.

Record in the field and watch the brain respond in real time. Back at the desk, the Workbench lays everything on one screen: EEG, heart rate, video, your own markers.

Who it's for

Built for the people closest to the horse.

For professionals who already know a lot, and want to know more.

Trainers & Pro Riders

Optimise learning, not just fitness. Horses need time to process and store what they learn. See how a horse takes in new work, how it recovers mentally, and when it's ready for more.

Look beyond behaviour. Follow sedation depth, pain-related signatures and the mental state before and after treatment. The brain often tells you more than the horse shows.
