The 2010 West Coast Classic was a major crowd pleaser as always. This year the show featured Canada's elite rieiners as they vied for a spot on Canada's Reining team which will compete at the 2010 World Equestrian Games in Lexington, Kentucky later this year.

The Lameness Locator

The "Lameness Locator" objectively detects and quantifies body movement asymmetry in a horse using small, body-mounted inertial sensors and a hand-held tablet PC. Instrumentation of the horse is quick, easy, and completely non-invasive. Data collection is in real time and veterinarians are free to perform their usual lameness evaluation routine without distraction.

Data is analyzed quickly using a unique set of algorithms developed after 18 years of research on sound and lame horse movement. This unique set of data analysis algorithms helps to determine the affected limb or limbs, the severity of lameness within each limb and the timing of peak lameness pain within the stride cycle of each limb.
