Our Story
Our Mission & Vision
Years of experience in the management of Equine Athletes around the world made our founder, Henk Offereins DVM, MVSc, MRCVS realise the shortcomings and frustrations most horse owners face when confronted with a tendon or ligament injury. Lack of accurate diagnosis technology and the inability to truly control forces on tendons in rehabilitation made tendon and ligament recovery unsuccessful, unpredictable, frustrating and expensive.
We believe that collecting reliable and accurate data will optimise equine performance management;
- to determine optimal exercise and training levels during rehabilitation.
- to determine optimal training in young or developing horses and to monitor tendon health during high performance.
- to monitor exercise levels and establish optimal feed and supplement intake.
- to monitor equine soundness and balance during training and competition.
- to allow distance monitoring of equine rehabilitation, training and performance.
Our company is driven by a goal to offer industry-changing results by using unique technology and services, creating a worldwide network of centres of excellence and by offering clients an excellent and affordable service. We also believe that sharing the successes, disappointments, and general experiences between our clients and experts will help to deal better with injuries and the challenges we face managing these.
