The Equine Gait Analysis Society (EGAS) is the international authority in the field of quantitative gait analysis in horses. 

We help to bring equine orthopaedics to a higher level by offering evidence-based education for equine veterinarians and other equine professionals. We also offer a global community around objective gait analysis, as well as a global network to connect you to the right person. 

Via the EGAS, veterinarians, physiotherapists, researchers and other equine professionals are equipped with the skills to integrate objective gait analysis into their daily routine.

EGAS offers the EGAS Live Course; a postgraduate course for equine veterinarians, with a few spots available for other equine professionals. This one-year course takes place at several elite clinics and universities in Europe (The Netherlands, Germany and Belgium). Completion of the course, as well as passing the examination is mandatory to become an EGAS-certified veterinarian.

Furthermore, the EGAS offers the EGAS Online Courses, for those who want to cut all content around gait analysis in smaller pieces, study from home, on their own speed. Our e-learning environment is giving you access to all your courses, but also all relevant scientific papers, knowledge tests, case studies and the EGAS community. 

Personal training and team training for clinics and practices to improve their clinical application of objective gait analysis in horses are provided to you as well. Either next to your (online) courses or completely separately. 

It doesn’t matter how much experience you have, we are there for you to increase your knowledge and make you more confident in the clinical application of equine quantitative gait analysis. 

Our global network is here to help you with any gait-analysis related question. Reach out to us and we will connect you to the right person. 

We work with and have knowledge of all validated veterinary devices. Those are:

• Equinosis
• Equi-Pro
• EquiMoves
• EquiGait
• Qualisys - QHorse
• Sleip

Both. We offer online courses via our online learning platform. This allows students from Europe, North America, South America, Asia, Australia and the Middle East to study equine gait analysis from anywhere in the world. You can study when it suits you, at your own pace. 

The EGAS Live Course is the one-year course to be followed in-person. This course is held in Europe and contains 5 modules of 2 days at several elite clinics and universities in The Netherlands, Germany and Belgium.

Yes. The EGAS Live Course provides you with the EGAS certification. Therefore, you have to attend all modules in person and you need to pass the examination. The EGAS Live Course also comes with accreditation for several countries:

• PE Veterinair - The Netherlands
• ATF Anerkennung - Germany
• ECTS points - Europe

EGAS is independent and technology-neutral.

We teach the principles of objective gait analysis to help you work with all validated veterinary systems. These systems originate from different technologies:

• Sensor-based systems (IMUs / inertial sensors)
• Optical motion-capture systems
• Force/pressure measuring platforms
• AI/CV based applications
  
   

This ensures your skills apply globally across brands and systems.

Important to understand is that most of the biomechanical knowledge is the same across all validated veterinary systems. The system-specific knowledge is taught in our courses as well; both in the practical training sessions of the EGAS Live Course as in the content of our online courses.

EGAS is an international organisation with members and students across Europe, North America, South America and Australia. Our education platform and online courses serve a global equine community, with live events hosted in Europe and North America. 

The EGAS Live Course is currently held in Europe.

The EGAS Live Course runs over one entire calendar year. It contains 5 modules of 2 days and the EGAS e-learning environment to study in between the live modules.

The EGAS Online Courses are designed to be completed within 2-3 hours per course, with flexible self-paced learning. Participants receive long-term (4 weeks) access for continued reference. 

All EGAS Online Courses come with a lot of interactive elements in the courses, such as knowledge tests, interviews, videos and animations. Furthermore, it gives you access to all the relevant scientific papers, a final test, certificate of completion, and access to the EGAS community. Within the community, you have the opportunity to ask questions to either the EGAS Speakers and Instructors or your peer learners.
