Forces on Horses: Instrumented Saddle Pad by Christian Booth, Natalie Hannum, Amanda Kuhlman, and Eliza Steele 🐴
The Lakeland Center, a therapeutic riding center in Coatesville, Indiana, requested an instrumented saddle pad that can measure the pressure distribution along their equine therapy animals' backs. They hope to use this device in their therapeutic riding sessions to guide riders' therapy plans and to monitor the physical forces on the animals to help prevent injury and pain. The instrumented saddle pad uses a series of sensor-filled patches to measure forces in several key locations along the animals' spine and store and interpret that data for future use and analysis. #RoseHulman #RoseShow
