RACEHORSE INJURY PREVENTION
DETERMINING HOW DIFFERENT SURFACES AFFECT HORSE INJURIES
The Challenge:
- Collect field data on how ground surfaces affect potential equine foot and leg injuries
- University of Guelph in Canada needed to measure acceleration and strain on horse hooves
- Instrumentation needed to be small enough to attach to a horse’s hoof in an unobtrusive manner
- Data recorder needed to be standalone and high shock & vibration tolerant
- No cables that could get tangled or alter gate
- Set-up needed to be simple and quick
The Solution:
- Miniature, rugged, ultra-lightweight DTS data acquisition systems
- University of Guelph mounted a SLICE MICRO data recorder directly on the hoof
- Positioning the DAS near the sensors eliminates cables, improves data quality
- Rugged enclosure designed to withstand impact and environmental factors
- Portable, easy set-up in the field and quick to position on horses at the point of interest
- 9-channel Guelph system included a triaxial IEPE accelerometer and six strain gages
- Store in place reliability, data writes directly to flash memory
- Intuitive software for easy set-up, viewing and data export

“No other system comes close to the size and capabilities. Before SLICE there really was no easy way to collect this kind of data in the field.”
