Advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) in the equestrian world are hoped to benefit equine welfare.

Fracture detection, vet-built horse monitoring technology and a new platform built to improve horse’s lives in many ways are among the latest developments in this area.

Researchers at the Royal Veterinary College have built an AI system that can detect and pinpoint fractures in horses. The study has been shortlisted for the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and maths) for Britain 2026 award.
