The Connected Horse: How Artificial Intelligence Is Changing Equine Care (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798995274100)

Most horse problems don't arrive with a siren. They arrive as a hesitation.

A slightly different way of standing at the gate. A ride that felt off without anything you could point to. The space between obvious emergency and clearly fine is where horse owners spend most of their time - and where the most consequential decisions get made, often alone, without the right information.

For the first time, technology built specifically for that space is here.

The Connected Horse is a guide for horse owners navigating the gap between the 2am gut feeling and the veterinary call - written by a software engineer with fifty years in the saddle who got tired of those two worlds never talking to each other.

Inside, you will learn:

- Why 77% of clinically lame horses are not recognized as lame by their owners - and what that gap costs the horse

- How AI body condition scoring catches the gradual changes your eye stops seeing when you look at the same horse every day

- What smart monitoring technology can tell you at 2am that nobody else can

- How to arrive at a vet visit with a specific, informed question - and get answers in fewer calls

- What equine AI tools exist right now, what is coming, and how to evaluate any tool before trusting it with your horse

This is not a book about technology. It is a book about seeing your horse more clearly - written by someone who has spent decades learning to do exactly that, and who believes the best tool is the one that gets out of the way.

The horse hasn't changed. What's changing is the toolkit available to the people who care for them.
