🎁 2 weeks, 100% FREE trial — for all of you.

YEAH! 🎉

We listened — and we adjusted. Here it is: EI Potential, better than before.

For everyone who wants to understand how to optimise their horse’s training, and turn heart rate data into real, actionable insights.

Use EI Potential while you train, and FINALLY get the answers you’ve been searching for:

❓ Am I doing too much today — or too little?
❓ Was this a normal session, or a more intense one for my horse?
❓ Am I building fitness (or rehab) too fast?

EI Potential helps you answer exactly that. Stop guessing, start training with confidence.

Need more info, or want extra help with your training? Just DM me — happy to help 🤍

You measure your horse’s heart rate… now what? 🫀🐴

Lots of riders are curious about heart rate monitoring. But once the belt is on, the questions start:
Is 99 bpm in trot good or bad? Is my horse getting fitter? Should I push on or back off today?

That’s exactly where EI Potential comes in.

In this reel, together with my horse I will show you how it works:
✅ Put on the Polar belt, with one electrode on the side and one below the belly
✅ Wet it well with a sponge, before and after fitting, so the contact stays good even if the belt shifts a little
✅ Click in the sensor, connect, and ride or train as usual

Afterwards, the app does the thinking for you. It shows your session per gait and heart rate per gait.

It also compares today with your own horse’s normal: lower than usual, higher than usual, or in the normal range.

No spreadsheets, no guessing. Just insights you can use straight away in your next session.

Track. Explore. Improve. 📊

Plan: conditioning session outdoors
Reality: a concrete block.

It wasn’t a tractor or a flapping plastic bag. It was a concrete block that has been in that exact spot all along, but today it was suddenly very suspicious.

Her heart rate went up to 117 bpm while she was standing completely still. That isn’t physical effort. That’s arousal.

The old me would never have got off.
Now, a bit older and with a lot more knowledge, I look at this moment differently.

As a scientist I know that a horse in high arousal can’t learn much. Pushing through in that state doesn’t build confidence, and it can just as easily sensitise the horse to the next “scary” thing. Learning theory also teaches us that timing matters: what the horse experiences at the moment pressure is released is what she learns from it. And every horse has her own coping style. Some freeze and observe, others want to move away. Knowing your horse’s style helps you choose the right response.

So I got off, stood next to her, and gave her time to look. Her heart rate came down to 43 bpm. Once she was calm, not before, I got back on and we carried on with the ride.

The physical session turned into a mental one, and I don’t see that as a failure. That’s training too. Trust is built in exactly these moments, and it pays off in every session after.

That’s why I find heart rate so valuable: it shows what you can’t always feel from the saddle. Is it stress, learned behaviour, or just a high-arousal moment? The numbers help you respond based on what’s actually going on instead of guessing.

Shaving or not shaving?
This is probably one of the most common questions.
And my answer is: don’t just look at the calendar. Look at the horse.

If your horse is already developing a thicker coat, is doing intense work, and we’re still having temperatures of 20°C or more, the ability to get rid of heat becomes really important.
In those conditions, clipping can be a very useful management tool so they can loose heat easier and faster, you really help your horse by clipping it now when he is heating up and sweating during exercise.

So… are you clipping this year? And why? 👇

Going indoors? Don’t just change the arena. Change the question: is my horse ready for this floor?

Most riders keep the exact same schedule when they move indoors. But a new surface is a new load, with different grip, different cushioning and different depth. Horses do adapt to it, just not overnight. Experts advise at least six weeks of regular work before asking for peak effort.

Heading to indoor shows? Tighter turns, more accelerating and braking, and a busier warm-up all ask something different from your horse. That goes for jumping, indoor eventing and indoor driving. Adapt your training to it, and take your time.

Comment INDOOR and I’ll show you how to check whether your horse has adapted.

Your horse doesn’t get fitter while you ride. It gets fitter while it rests.

So how much rest does a horse really need during the week? The honest answer is “it depends”, and in this post I explain what it depends on. Young horse or well-trained athlete, the rules are not the same.

One training session. Three questions that actually matter.

1. How demanding was it — low, moderate or high intensity?
2. How did your horse respond — was the effort normal, lighter, or heavier than expected?
3. What’s next — recovery, or can you build on it?

Swipe to see how EI Potential shows this: no guessing needed. First how intensity — low, moderate, high — actually looks in the app. Then a real example from this jumping session: walk cost a bit more effort than expected, while trot and canter were completely normal for this horse.

After a moderate or high intensity day, plan a recovery day. After an easy day — depending on your horse’s age — you can plan a moderate or more intense one.

That’s exactly what EI Potential is built for: structuring your rides and your training plan around what your horse actually needs.

Save this if you want to know how to build up your horse’s training step by step. 📌

Real training plans don’t start with ‘I do dressage’ — they start with your numbers. How often do you ride, how long, and what’s your duration + intensity per gait? Comment your numbers and let’s build your next step together.

Spent this weekend at a scientific congress on training young horses — and one thing kept coming back: a long, healthy sport career isn’t built in the saddle. It starts long before, from week 1 as a foal, playing outside.

Free movement, social contact and natural foraging behavior aren’t “nice to have” for a young horse — they’re basic needs. Social contact with other horses is essential for a horse’s wellbeing, from day one. Foraging behavior meets a core need in how a horse is built to live. Meet those needs early, and the transition into ridden work later is more robust, with less injury risk down the line.

Highlight of the weekend: a visit to the Bábolna stud in Hungary, walking among Thoroughbreds, purebred and Shagya Arabians whose young life starts outside in a herd.

A long, healthy sport life starts on day one.
