AI horse conformation analysis
Your eye is right. Prove it in 30 seconds.
Hippik turns a single photo into 20 objective conformation measurements, to back your judgement and give buyers numbers they can trust.
Gut feeling alone no longer convinces a buyer.
Breeding seasons, horse sales and stock valuation require significant personal and financial investment. In parallel, buyers, both professionals and amateurs, demand ever more precise indicators, on the legs as much as on overall morphology, to validate their investments.
Your notes, your photos, your judgement, finally in one place.
Stop letting your expertise get lost between your notes, spreadsheets and photos. Hippik centralizes your observations and confronts them with hard market data.
Make decisions faster, with greater confidence, and finally devote your time to the heart of your job: your horses.
How Hippik measures a horse's conformation
Hippik measures a horse's conformation from a single side photograph: AI locates its anatomical landmarks and computes 20 measurements in about 30 seconds.
Measurements, not adjectives. Our technology automatically identifies the key skeletal landmarks (shoulder, elbow, hock, fetlock, pastern) and computes the angles that matter for performance and equine health, including the limb angles that show how the horse stands on its legs.
Accuracy: the mean error on an angle measurement is below 2°, validated against a test set manually annotated by equine experts.
Features
Relative positioning
Instantly compare a yearling against all the horses you've analyzed. Identify significant gaps, strengths and watch points.
Statistical distributions
Position each horse within its cohort. Visualize the distribution of every angle and measurement, and spot outliers at a glance.
PDF report
Generate a detailed report with all measurements, charts and positioning. Professional format.
For bloodstock agents and breeders
Hippik serves bloodstock agents, who secure their purchases at yearling sales (Goffs, Arqana, Tattersalls), and breeders, who track how their stock develops morphologically.
"An objective analysis confirms the intuition, or reveals what the eye misses."
