Equio: built around a concrete need
Equio is a mobile app that helps horse owners, riders and equine professionals check feed composition, identify toxic plants and manage care — linking every piece of information to each horse's specific profile.
Why this app
The idea for Equio came from a simple observation: faced with a feed bag, an unknown plant in the paddock or a care product, it is often hard to know quickly whether what you are about to give your horse is truly suitable. Labels are complex, plants are numerous and horses' profiles vary widely.
The Equio team built the app to structure these checks: read a composition, identify a plant, compare products, and always link the information to the horse's real profile — its age, weight, sensitivities and known conditions.
The app does not replace the vet. It helps you prepare a decision, ask the right questions and keep a clear history. If in doubt, suspected ingestion or emergency, it systematically redirects to an animal health professional.
Our approach
All plant, ingredient and condition factsheets are built from recognised veterinary and scientific sources: publications from ANSES (French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety), IFCE (French Institute of Horse and Riding) and specialised peer-reviewed journals.
The guiding principle is caution: the app helps structure information and spot warning signs, but it never makes a diagnosis, never prescribes treatment and never replaces a vet's clinical examination.
AI is a reading aid. Its results may be incomplete depending on input quality (blurry photo, truncated label, atypical plant). That is why every result is presented with a confidence indicator, never as a definitive conclusion.
Sources and method
The toxic plant database draws on the work of the ANSES veterinary toxicovigilance network, IFCE technical factsheets and specialised scientific literature (Equine Veterinary Journal, Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine).
Ingredient and condition factsheets are written from established nutritional and veterinary references, with regular updates to maintain information consistency.
The editorial guides are practical summaries for owners and riders. They do not constitute medical protocols and must always be supplemented by professional advice for health-related decisions.
