Today we are excited to find that EYA.net has published an article about TöltSense training system.

Exciting new research into Icelandic gaits paves the way for a riding app that can recognise all five Icelandic gaits with up to 98% accuracy. TöltSense founder, and IHSGB member, Torben Rees has been working with Icelandic startup HorseDay and the University of Iceland to develop the algorithm. According to Torben: “Our classifier is the

During the winter of 2021/22 we carried out a validation study to establish the accuracy of TöltSense’s gait classification. We found there to be better than 99% agreement between TöltSense and a panel of four independent qualified sport judges. We also investigated how accurate the sensor system is at identifying the hoof-on and hoof-off times.

Here we see the analysis of the 5 gait demo using the TöltSense app.

Freija rides a 5 gait test with Ljóri while TöltSense records all his movements. I’ve replayed the session and combined the videos to produce this demo. Note that when the voice talks about ‘susp’ in tolt this is ‘front suspension’ (F.susp). In trot, pace and canter ‘sus’ is the full suspension.

Here is the presentation that I gave to the Icelandic Horse Society of Great Britain AGM this year detailing progress over the last 12 months.

I had the honour of presenting my work to the Icelandic Horse Society of Great Britain in November. This was the first time that I had publicly shown off what Töltsense can do!
