Introducing A1 — The Biomechanical Intelligence Behind Alendis SmartHorse
After three years of rigorous development, Alendis is proud to unveil a
A1 — our first proprietary AI model powering SmartHorse, the product line redefining how riders, trainers, and breeders engage with gait analysis.
Built in deep collaboration with riders, judges, and veterinarians, A1 is a foundational step in our mission to blend tradition with real-time technology.
From Phone Clips to Precision Analysis
SmartHorse, powered by A1, turns any horse video into a biomechanical breakdown. At launch, the system focuses on the iconic tölt gait of the Icelandic horse — automatically detecting tölt segments, analyzing stride cycles, and calculating meaningful motion metrics like:
- LAP (Lateral Advanced Placement)
~25% = ideal tölt
<25% = pacey tölt
>25% = trotty tölt - Beat Regularity — identifies lateral couplets and subtle rhythm deviations
- Stride Frequency— measures the frequency of strides at slow, medium, or high speed
This is biomechanical analysis made accessible — no sensors, no treadmill, just video.
As Simple as Uploading Your Gallery
Riders and trainers often have phones full of clips: powerful gaits, beautiful movements and possibly small issues they want to revisit. Now, every video becomes a learning opportunity.
With SmartHorse, it’s seamless:
- Go to app.alendis.com
- Upload as many videos as you like
- Watch them automatically analyzed within seconds
Videos can be organized into folders by horse, time period, or training focus — perfect for tracking performance over time.
Even better: as new models like A2 are released, every video in your library will be automatically re-analyzed using the latest tech. You don’t need to re-upload or rewatch — your insights evolve with you.
Grounded in Biomechanics
A1 is shaped by many years of equine locomotion research. In particular, its interpretation of LAP is grounded in proven science — not just as a stylistic detail, but as the core diagnostic of tölt purity, directly connected to judging criteria and performance outcomes.
Developed by Experts, Powered by Alendis
A1 is the first in a family of biomechanical intelligence models — developed by:
- Biomechanics experts with deep specialization in Icelandic horse movement
- AI engineers in computer vision, motion segmentation, and gait recognition
- A global science team under the Alendis Science Unit
It is real horsemanship, amplified by modern AI.
Now Available — And Just the Beginning
All Alendis subscribers now have access to SmartHorse, powered by A1.
And that’s just the beginning, as in future models we aim to expand to multiple gait detection, gait transitions, asymmetries, and advanced kinematic markers as well as adding the rider and horse-rider interaction.
Each release will automatically update your video library, bringing fresh insights to old footage — unlocking new understanding without new effort.
From Tradition to Technology
The name Alendis derives from the Latin De Equis Alendis — “On the Care of Horses.” It reflects our promise to blend classical care with modern tools. With SmartHorse, powered by A1, we’re making the biomechanics of tölt readable, rider intuition testable, and excellence measurable — from any video, anywhere.
