Sleip is proud to announce its commitment to the International Society of Equine Locomotor Pathology. The global non-profit is dedicated to advancing knowledge within the field of equine locomotor analysis, focusing on understanding and managing lameness conditions in sports horses.
Sleip joins ISELP as a global sponsor, and will also contribute to the educational modules held in the US and Europe in 2024, where Sleip will be made available as a tool.
“Sleip will play an integral part in our future education, as with all of our other ISELP sponsors. We look forward to incorporating many of the educational and diagnostic benefits that Sleip has to offer, says Bob Cohencious - Director, Marketing & Corporate Development at ISELP.
On behalf of the entire Board of Directors and staff of ISELP, we take this opportunity to welcome our newest global sponsor, Sleip. ISELP is a Non-Profit Educational Society focused on lameness in the equine athlete. Our goal is to provide contemporary knowledge and techniques in the continually evolving field of equine locomotor analysis to better prepare the equine clinician to understand and manage lameness conditions in the equine athlete.
"We are thrilled to sponsor ISELP and formalize our support for the community of equine vets dedicated to understanding horses through motion, says Axel Nyström, CEO of Sleip. "We are passionate about bringing advances in science into practical use. Our company was founded on the premise of combining advances in equine biomechanical research with cutting-edge technology to support the clinical work of veterinarians with objective gait analysis.”

Two days. One shared goal: advancing horse welfare through science, education and practice. Join leading international experts at the Horse Welfare Summit 2026, where Dr Andrew McLean will deliver two keynote lectures and receive the Professor Ingvar Fredricson Foundation Scholarship.
A new review examines how smartphones are becoming genuine tools for monitoring a horse's soundness, heart rate and recovery, and even for meeting international competition requirements. Among the systems it highlights is Sleip, co-founded by Dr. Elin Hernlund, one of the Foundation's own scholarship recipients, whose work builds on decades of Swedish equine biomechanics research going back to Professor Ingvar Fredricson himself.
On November 2, visitors gathered in Hall B at the Jönköping Horse Show for the Professor Ingvar Fredricson Foundation’s 2025 scholarship ceremony, celebrating groundbreaking Swedish research in equine biomechanics. From the pioneering efforts of the 1970s—when high‑speed cameras and manual measurements were the researcher’s tools—to today’s AI‑powered motion analysis and robotic hoof simulators, the audience was taken on a journey through decades of innovation. Professors Lars Roepstorff and Marie Rhodin, together with Associate Professor Elin Hernlund, shared their latest breakthroughs, followed by live demonstrations showing how AI and high‑precision sensors are transforming the understanding of horse–rider interaction. Moderator Jens Fredricson guided the dialogue and inspired exchange between researchers, while post‑event discussions with attendees helped build valuable bridges between research and practice.
The FEI's guardian framework resonates with the work we champion at the Professor Fredricson Foundation. Advancing equestrian sport means placing the horse's welfare and wellbeing at the center — not as an afterthought, but as the foundation upon which all excellence is built.
