Using AI to assess gait changes in event horses
The Horse
Like many performance horses, those that compete in eventing have strenuous training and competition schedules. These horses often work harder than normal in the competition environment, which, coupled with the potential stressors of this setting, can cause changes in their heart rate, body temperature, lactatemia (the normal presence of lactate in the blood), and creatine kinase (an enzyme that mainly exists in muscle cells).
