Optional tape measurements enable the morphometric check.
Key features
Visual BCS and CNS estimate
AI reads the photos following the Equine Adiposity Atlas and returns a BCS range, the CNS and findings in six anatomical regions.
The app decides the risk
The classification (low visual risk, attention, high visual risk or indeterminate) comes from fixed, tested rules, not from the AI. When the photos are not enough, the app prefers not to score.
Optional morphometry
With height, heart girth and neck circumference, the app computes the atlas ratios with separate cut-offs for horses and ponies.
Best for
Owners and stables
Track your animals' body condition in a standard way, in the field, and know when to call the vet.
Veterinarians and students
A quick visual screening explained by region, to support the conversation with owners and the clinical exam.
FAQ
What is HorseScore?
HorseScore is an iPhone app that provides a visual screening of body condition (Henneke scale, BCS 1–9) and neck adiposity (CNS 0–5) in horses and ponies from four guided photos, with a risk classification and next steps. The app is currently in Portuguese (Brazil).
Does the result replace a veterinarian?
No. The result is a visual, educational estimate. It does not assess the palpation described in the atlas, may be wrong and is not a diagnosis. Decisions about health, feeding and treatment should be made with a veterinarian.
How are the photos analyzed?
After you confirm the upload, the photos, animal type and measurements go directly from your iPhone to the OpenAI API, which performs the visual reading. The app computes the risk classification and morphometry with fixed rules. Nothing is saved on the device. See the Privacy Policy.
Do I need to enter measurements?
No, measurements are optional. With height, heart girth and neck circumference, the app checks the estimate against the atlas morphometric ratios and increases the confidence of the result.
Why was my result indeterminate?
When photos are dark, cropped, taken at the wrong angle or the findings conflict, the app prefers not to score rather than give a misleading score. It tells you which photos to retake.
Is the app paid?
No. HorseScore is free, has no in-app purchases and requires no account.
