JAN – FEB 2008:
New Yard Sponsorship deal signed. We are very excited to announce that ETB have just signed a Yard Sponsorship deal with Cleeve Stables which covers 13 thoroughbred horses.
In addition ETB are helping fund Debbie Holmes, an MSc student, to work with the yard in collaboration with the University of Bristol. This will allow Debbie to work under the supervision of Jeremy Naylor (the trainer) and Dr Sam Franklin (University of Bristol Equine Centre) to pursue a research project using ETB’s novel gait analysis tool, the “Pegasus System”. This will provide invaluable information on stride characteristics of horses in training and will help in developing optimum training programmes for our horses.
ETB and Dr.Jeremy Naylor the well known race horse trainer (www.jeremynaylor.com) of Cleeve Stables have signed a Memorandom of Understanding to help develop the ETB Pegasus system for Race Horse Owners. Jeremy uses technology in his horse training programmes. With ETB’s leading edge knowledge on motion sensors a innovative training program using the latest ETB motion sensors will be developed.
