How sure are you about what you’re seeing when your horse moves?
A study published in the Equine Veterinary Journal (BEVA Congress 2024) surveyed 509 horse owners, and the results might surprise you:
8.9% accuracy in spotting bilateral lameness (when a horse is affected in two limbs simultaneously).
32.3% accuracy on hindlimb lameness — literally worse than a coin toss.
0.36 correlation between an owner’s confidence and their actual accuracy.
It isn't a lack of care — it’s a physical limitation. The human eye simply cannot analyze movement across all four limbs in the same split second. When asymmetry is subtle or balanced across both sides, intuition falls short.
That’s where technology steps in.
CABASUS Smartboots use 4 synchronized boots to track every leg in real time. By collecting precise, quantitative data simultaneously, CABASUS eliminates guesswork, detects subtle micro-asymmetries early, and helps protect your horse long before a subtle issue turns into a severe injury.
Stop guessing. Start measuring.
