The Technology Behind Every Result
Four integrated technologies work seamlessly together — from the RFID chip on each horse to the moment results appear on your screen.
RFID Chip Timing
Each horse carries a passive RFID transponder that is read automatically by antenna arrays at every gate and the finish line — delivering precise millisecond timestamps with no line-of-sight required.
Heart Rate Monitoring
Real-time equine BPM data is captured at each mandatory vet gate check and fed directly into the central race management dashboard — supporting horse welfare and FEI compliance simultaneously.
Live GPS Horse Tracking
Every competing horse is tracked across the full course in real time via GPS — giving officials, owners, and spectators live position visibility from anywhere in the world via the EIEV app.
Central Race Dashboard
All timing, heart rate, GPS, and vet data flows into a single command centre — used by officials and race directors to manage every aspect of the race in real time with complete situational awareness.
Built for Precision & Reliability
Every component of the EIEV Timing System is engineered to deliver accurate, transparent results for endurance racing at the highest level.
RFID Chip Timing
Millisecond-accurate timing using RFID chip technology — no manual intervention required at any gate or finish line.
Automated Vet Gate
Automatic recording of mandatory hold times and heart-rate readings at every vet gate — fully integrated into the race timeline.
Heart Rate Monitoring
Live equine BPM feeds throughout the race to support welfare assessment and performance data in real time.
Mobile Live Results
Race standings and results delivered live to riders, spectators, and officials via the EIEV app and website.
Certified PDF Results
Official, FEI-compliant result documents generated automatically and published immediately after each race concludes.
FEI Compliance
Fully certified by the Fédération Equestre Internationale — every result issued meets the highest international standards.
The Heartbeat of Every Race
The EIEV Timing System integrates live heart rate monitoring for every competing horse — providing vets and race officials with real-time data at each gate. No other system in the region offers this level of integrated equine welfare data.
- Heart rate readings captured at each mandatory vet gate stop
- Data fed directly into the central race management dashboard
- Automatic hold-time enforcement when BPM thresholds are not met
- Historical BPM data retained for each horse's full race profile
- Supports FEI welfare protocols and eliminates manual recording errors
- Real-time alerts sent to the chief vet when readings are abnormal
From Start Gun to Podium
Every moment of the race is automatically recorded — from the first RFID ping at the start to the final result announcement.
Start Line
RFID triggers the race clock per rider — mass starts recorded individually to millisecond precision.
T = 0:00:00.000On Course
GPS trackers broadcast live position every few seconds — visible to officials, owners, and fans in real time.
