GaitEQ
3–5×
Solo rides per week
The work between lessons is where most rider–horse development happens.
For investors
The training brain in your rider’s pocket.
A premium niche. A clear software gap. A staged path from working prototype to native iOS launch.
Thesis
Trackers and content libraries exist. Adaptive, horse-aware session planning does not.
GaitEQ converts each rider’s real constraints — time, energy, grade, equipment, training-scale focus — into a structured ride plan grounded in classical progression, with horse and rider tracked as one developing unit.

Regular high-quality instruction is gated by money, time and logistics.

The ask
AUD 2.2M seed for 18–24 months runway and a native iOS launch.

- Pre-seed bridge. AUD 350–600k · persistent product, planner V2, pilot analytics.
