Delivering the optimal outcomes in the equine sector is not just an art but also a science.
Problem
Untapped opportunities of data
Accurately evaluating a horse’s quality for sport, sales or the show ring is essential for securing top results. Even experienced horse owners encounter difficulties and consume considerable time interpreting the available data.
In breeding programmes for other livestock species, such as cattle, pigs and poultry, the use of statistical methods to efficiently extract information from data is already widespread. The intergration of these innovations by their breeding organisations has markedly improved their breeding and management decisions.
Despite the wealth of opportunities, the systematic use of data for enhancing the breeding, care and training of horses significantly lags behind.

OptimiSed
We offer breeders, pinhookers and trainers a simplified way to make superior pre-selections.
Experience
Leveraging insights from previous years, we understand how factors, such as pedigree, gender and the race results of relatives, correlate with their expected performance in the sales ring or on the racetrack.
Modern
Using state-of-the-art statistical techniques, we objectively rank horses based on the expected return on investment for pinhooking or the likelihood of a winning horse.
“Erwin Koenen’s assessment of the scientific quality and practical suitability of our routine genetic evaluations for riding horses has been comprehensive. The audit report’s conclusions and recommendations have been valuable in guiding our association towards enhancing the selection tools we offer to our breeders.”
