Key Takeaways

  • AI-enabled stables monitor horses with digital tech to boost health and performance.
  • Digital technology enables coaching, competition, stable management, and daily health monitoring.
  • Millie Allen is a British rider based in Belgium.

AI in the stable

CNN describes “Smart stables” that use AI, including “night‑vision cameras” and “behavior dashboards,” to keep high performance horses healthier and happier.

This is a first for the Landisacq stables (Orne): four of its female riders have just clinched the French championship title, from July 19 to 21, 2025

The technology focus is framed around performance tracking and daily monitoring, with the equestrian sector presented as one where “no ramification of the equestrian world escapes digital!”

In that same digital framing, the local Western interview with Millie Allen places her training and competition preparation in a high-performance context, noting she is “now based in Belgium, at Karel Cox's stables.”

Allen’s season-opening in Doha is tied to preparation and readiness, as she says she chose to go with specific horses—Clearround Il Mondo, E-Maitresse TVH, Quick Diamant HR and Genesis de Talma—because “These horses were ready to enter the season and to perform.”

Digital tools and apps

The “Equestrian Practice in the Era of Digital Technology and New Technologies” article says the digital market grew by 6.5% in 2023 and that the world has more smartphones (8.6 billion) than humans (8.1 billion).

It then gives concrete examples, including Preppy Sport, an online store selling second-hand equestrian equipment, where founder Camille Traverse says, “we are launching our app this April!”

For horse owners, the ADM Group’s Royal Horse app is described as letting users “track its weight” and “customize its ration,” and it is said to be “completely free.”

On the saddle side, Gaston Mercier is described as having “the first to develop an online configurator,” a free service that allows “color customization” and is said to improve the customer experience.

Training, competition, and stakes

That historic performance is anchored in dates and results: from July 19 to 21, 2025, four Landisacq riders—Clarisse Guillaume, Charlotte Feillet, Kim Brevet and Élina Hebert—won the French championship title in club category 3, cadet 2 at the Open de France.

The competition details include that for three days they cleared obstacles 75 to 80 cm high, and the article says, “only the three best performances are counted at the end of the three days.”

Looking ahead, the riders plan to keep training this summer with a new goal “to again aim for the title next year, in a higher category,” while the digital article frames AI integration as a next step for personalization through RAYA, where it says it is “working on integrating AI into RAYA to push personalization further.”
