8A chance meeting in 2018 with one of Australia's most high-profile thoroughbred horse trainers, Chris Waller, sparked an inspiring journey that will revolutionise one of the more archaic, manually delivered business models on the planet. In partnership with Segenhoe Stud in Australia, ranked in the top 50 equine breeders globally, StableWizard was born to guide the equine care, welfare and training sector out of its age old, pre-technology operations into the digital age.StableWizard presented the perfect opportunity to turn data into a highly valuable and easy to use asset.Aspects of the global horse racing industry are today mechanised, but the care, welfare and daily handling of a valuable horse is still undertaken in stables and on race tracks by passionate stable hands, riders and wizened intuitive trainers caring for their prized charges with chalk boards and paper trails.So started our two-year collaboration on StableWizard, utilising the practices of one of the best in the thoroughbred training business as our modelling for the work flow systems, and testing the software with his team and at the stables of legendary race horses.Our first foray into the dusty stables with iPads in hand was widely met with disbelief by the hardy horse carers. But at every step we found willing collaborators. The physical environment of the stables required bespoke enclosures and specialised seals for our hardware on site, which today has more than met its requirements.We build high level, flexible frameworks that allows the easy creation of forms to gather data in a drag and drop format, requiring little to no technical experience from users.
