GaitGuard installs a camera in your yard and uses AI to flag changes in movement, behaviour, and activity around your horses. It assists your team and your vet. It doesn't replace either.
Your team can't be everywhere. Your vet visits in scheduled windows. Owners worry. GaitGuard fills the hours nobody is watching.
Your vet sees your horse for 20 minutes when they visit. Things change overnight, on the walker, or in the stable. A camera that watches 24/7 means your vet arrives with information, not guesses.
Most welfare and security incidents happen when nobody's around. Off feed at 1am, restless before colic, an open gate, someone in the stable. GaitGuard sees it and flags it.
Increasingly, horse owners aren't horse-people. They're anxious, app-native, and want visibility on the horse they pay for. GaitGuard gives them that — without burying your staff in 2am calls.
A camera in your stable, walker, arena, or yard captures everything that happens. The AI watches, learns each horse, and flags what's worth a closer look. You don't touch a thing.
One weatherproof camera mounted in your stable, walker, arena, or yard. Hardware, connectivity, calibration — we handle it. About 30 minutes per location.
Computer vision tracks every horse, every hour. It learns each horse's normal — how they move, how they rest, how they eat, when they settle. No sensors, no markers, no phones.
When something changes — a gait that's off, behaviour out of pattern, someone in the stable, a gate left open — GaitGuard surfaces it. Your team and your vet decide what it means.
Continuous monitoring across the things that matter to a yard — far beyond the trot-up.
Stride symmetry, head and pelvic motion, stance and swing patterns. Subtle changes from each horse's own baseline are flagged for your team and your vet to interpret.
Time spent lying down, restlessness, off-feed signals, isolation patterns. Subtle changes in routine often appear before a clinical issue does.
Unexpected presence in the stable, gates left open, late-night activity. Especially valuable for DIY yards where unauthorised access is a real concern.
Optional app access for owners who want to see their horse. Filtered alerts mean your staff aren't fielding calls every time a horse lies down.
Vet visits, smartphone apps, and visual checks all need someone to be there. GaitGuard runs every hour, automatically — and feeds the people who matter.
| Visual Checks | Smartphone Apps | GaitGuard | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coverage | Periodic walk-arounds | On demand only | Continuous 24/7 |
| Manual effort | Walk-around / vet visit | Hold phone, film each horse | None — set and forget |
| Captures behaviour changes | Only if witnessed | No | Yes — every hour |
| Captures security incidents | No | No | Yes — flags presence and access |
| Replaces your vet | — | — | No — feeds them better data |
| Hardware on the horse | None | None | None — camera-only |
Different yards, different priorities. Same hardware.
Owners want visibility. Your team wants to do their job. GaitGuard gives owners app access and filters which alerts are actually worth a call to the yard.
You can't watch every stable every night. GaitGuard flags unauthorised access, late-night activity, and welfare changes between owner visits.
For high-value horses, every day off is expensive. Catch movement and behaviour changes earlier so your team and vet have time to act.
GaitGuard came from a simple frustration: between vet visits, between staff shifts, between owner check-ins, a lot can happen — and most of it goes unseen. We built a system that doesn't try to be a vet, a yard manager, or an owner. It's a camera and an AI that watch around the clock and surface what's worth a closer look. Your team makes the call. Your vet does the diagnosis. We just make sure nothing's missed.
What we hear most often on the first call.
Good — GaitGuard works best when you have one. We don't diagnose anything. We surface gait, behaviour, or security changes 24/7 and feed your vet better information when they do visit. Most vets we work with prefer it because they arrive with context, not guesswork.
No. Each horse builds its own baseline, and alerts only fire when something genuinely changes. Owner alerts are filtered separately so your staff aren't woken up at 2am because someone saw their horse lying down.
Cameras are positioned for animal welfare, not human surveillance. Footage is stored within UK/EU infrastructure with a clear data-handling policy. We share our DPIA with any yard before installing.
No. GaitGuard is camera-only — no collars, no leg sensors, no markers. The horse never knows it's there.
We're currently installing free pilots with a small group of founding yards in exchange for feedback. General pricing will be published once that group is closed.
About 30 minutes per camera location. We bring the hardware, mount it, calibrate it, and have it running before we leave. The horses don't even notice.
We're taking a small number of founding yards onto a free pilot. We bring the camera, set it up, and share everything it finds. No commitment. No data risk. No charge.
