Something big is coming to EI Potential. Just a little more patience... 👀

How do you know if a 1.40m show jumper is actually fit?Not by feel. By data.
This week we ran a sport-specific fitness test on this jumper. Three things we look at: endurance, push-off and strength. The goal is simple — understand exactly where this horse stands physically today, so we know where the training programme can be sharpened to fit this individual horse.
What happens next? The rider keeps measuring at home, every training session. That way we can match the daily work to actual fitness, not to a generic plan.
This is performance analysis in practice.

Horses cope with heat far worse than we do.

They warm up faster, cool down slower, and can sweat 10–15 litres an hour — several times more than a human.

Once it passes 28°C with humidity above 50%, your horse really starts to struggle to lose heat — and that affects performance, recovery and welfare all at once.

A few things worth doing on warm days:

🌡️ Check the WBGT, not just the thermometer
⏰ Train in the early morning or late evening, and ease off the intensity when not having competition and only warm for few days in a row.
🚿 Cool actively afterwards — cold water on the large muscles, neck and chest
❤️ Watch for warning signs: lethargy, reduced sweating, muscle stiffness

We've put the full science together on the blog — including our research on heat acclimation ahead of the Tokyo Olympics 👇

Want to really understand how your horse handles heat and load, and how to use heart rate data to train smarter?

That's exactly what our autumn course covers — registration still open. https://www.equineintegration.com/nl/sportfysiologie-paard/

From the training field to the World Cup arena. 🏆
Last weekend, the world’s top marathon drivers went head-to-head at the World Cup Driving Qualifications in Kronenberg — and among them, drivers using the EI Potential app to get the most out of every session.
👉 Track performance
👉 Understand what your horse is actually telling you
👉 Train smarter, not harder
👉 Build a horse that peaks when it counts
Because every champion knows: the result on competition day is the sum of every training day before it.

Het sportseizoen start nu, wat moet je vandaag al doen om straks het verschil te maken?
Gratis webinar op dinsdag 10 maart

Hoe bereid je je paard fysiek én nutritioneel optimaal voor?

Een succesvol sportseizoen start niet bij de eerste wedstrijd, maar in de weken (of maanden) ervoor. De juiste balans tussen training en voeding bepaalt niet alleen de prestaties, maar ook de belastbaarheid en het herstel van je paard.

Tijdens dit gratis webinar brengen sportfysioloog Carolien Munsters en nutritionist Peter Bollen training en voeding samen. Je krijgt helder inzicht in wat er in het paardenlichaam gebeurt tijdens de opbouw naar het seizoen – én hoe je dit gericht ondersteunt.

Wat leer je?
• Wat het écht betekent als een paard klaar is voor wedstrijd
• Hoe je training stap voor stap opbouwt zonder overbelasting
• Hoe je training en herstel in balans houdt
• Wanneer je de voeding moet aanpassen bij intensere arbeid
• Hoe je spieren, energie en belastbaarheid optimaal ondersteunt

Een doordachte voorbereiding zorgt voor een sterkere basis, beter herstel en meer constante prestaties doorheen het seizoen.

📅 10 maart – online
🎥 Inclusief replay als je er niet live bij kan zijn

✨ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻:
• How horses adapt to endurance training at a muscular, cardiovascular and metabolic level
• Why lighter types (like Arabians) and heavier horses (cobs, natives and part-breds) respond differently to workload, hills and recovery
• Practical, science-led strategies to improve fitness, recovery and long-term soundness
• How to better understand your horse’s limits, potential and optimum training window

Whether you’re just starting out, bringing on a young horse, or refining the performance of an experienced campaigner, this session will help you make informed, welfare-first decisions for 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 horse. No jargon, no guesswork – just clear, applied science you can take straight back to your training plan.
