Data insights for trainers, riders, Breeders and owners.

About us

Equine Science exists to bring clarity, evidence, and performance intelligence to the equine industry.

The sport has no shortage of talent, intuition, and tradition — but modern data, analytics, and objective insight have critically underserved it. We built Equine Science to change that.

Our platform transforms competition results, performance metrics, and longitudinal data into clear, usable intelligence for riders, owners, trainers, and organisations who want to make better decisions — not guesses.

We believe:

  • Performance should be measured, not assumed

  • Progress should be tracked, not anecdotal

  • Horses deserve decisions grounded in evidence and care

Equine Science is designed for serious competitors and professionals who value precision, transparency, and continuous improvement. Whether assessing consistency, benchmarking performance, or understanding trends over time, our tools turn raw results into insight.

This is not about replacing horsemanship —

it’s about supporting it with science.

Equine Science NZ turns competition results into practical performance insight—so riders, owners, and breeders can make better decisions with less guesswork.

We combine structured horse profiles with verified competition records to generate clear, comparable KPIs (like clear rate, faults trends, consistency at level, prize money, and workload). The goal is simple: better information, better horsemanship.

What we do

From results to insight—fast.

Equine Science NZ organises competition performance into a consistent format, then translates it into meaningful metrics you can actually use.

You can:

  • Track progress over time (season, level, venue, surfaces)

  • Compare performance at height/grade (e.g., 1.10m vs 1.20m)

  • Spot patterns early (rails late in the round, time faults, trend shifts)

  • Build a clearer picture for training, sale, or breeding decisions

Who it’s for

  • Riders & coaches who want objective tracking alongside training notes

  • Owners who want transparency and trend-based oversight

  • Breeders & buyers who want evidence-backed performance profiles

  • Clubs/organisers (future) who want cleaner reporting and analytics

How it works

  1. Horse profile

    Pedigree, category/discipline, key notes, and identifiers.

  2. Competition results

    Results are captured in a structured way so comparisons are meaningful.

  3. Performance KPIs

    Automatic outputs such as:

  • Clear round rate (overall and by level)

  • Average faults per round

  • Fault distribution (rails vs time vs refusals where available)

  • Starts per season and workload

  • Prize money and placings (where relevant)

  • Consistency indicators across venues/surfaces

Our philosophy

Data should support horsemanship—not replace it.

Numbers are tools. They help you ask better questions:

  • Is this a training issue, a readiness issue, or a management issue?

  • Is performance improving at the right rate for this horse?

  • Is the jump-up in level supported by evidence?

We focus on metrics that are interpretable, comparable, and practical.

Data integrity and fairness

We care about accuracy because bad data creates bad decisions.

Equine Science NZ is built around:

  • consistent definitions for metrics

  • transparent methodology (what a KPI means and how it’s calculated)

  • careful handling of incomplete results (so we don’t overclaim)
