Actualmente, unicamente en Espana hay mas de 175.000 explotaciones ecuestres, tal como clubs de hipica, con mas de 700.000 caballos en sus instalaciones, siendo habitual que los caballos descansen en caballerizas individuales, donde se les protege de las inclemencias meteorologicas y duermen. Estos caballos son principalmente destinados 25 para actividades de ocio, o para actividades deportivas, tal como carreras o salto de obstaculos, incluyendo su participation en competiciones tanto a nivel nacional como internacional.Currently, in Spain alone there are more than 175,000 equestrian farms, such as horse riding clubs, with more than 700,000 horses in their facilities, it is common for horses to rest in individual stables, where they are protected from inclement weather and sleep. These horses are mainly destined for leisure activities, or for sports activities, such as racing or obstacle jumping, including their participation in competitions both nationally and internationally.
En la actualidad, el sector ecuestre tiene una importante repercusion en la economia 30 global. Sin embargo, uno de sus mayores problemas es el elevado numero de fallecimiento de caballos debidos al colico equino. Concretamente, el colico equino es un dolor agudo en el sistema digestivo que esta causado por una obstruction del mismo, y que puede resultar en el fallecimiento del animal.At present, the equestrian sector has an important impact on the global economy. However, one of its biggest problems is the high number of deaths of horses due to the horse colic. Specifically, the equine colic is an acute pain in the digestive system that is caused by an obstruction of the same, and that can result in the death of the animal.
Actualmente, para el diagnostico del colico equino se requiere de veterinarios que visiten a los caballos y comprueben la presencia de los smtomas de esta enfermedad en el animal, tal como un comportamiento anomalo. Concretamente este comportamiento anomalo puede ser, entre otros, que el caballo se encuentre muy intranquilo y que se 5 tumbe y se levante repetidamente. Una vez detectado alguno de los smtomas, los veterinarios deben realizar las pruebas correspondientes para determinar el tratamiento del caballo, es decir la utilization de farmacos o la intervention quirurgica, dependiendo de la etapa en la que se encuentre la enfermedad.Currently, for the diagnosis of the equine colic, veterinarians are required to visit the horses and check the presence of the symptoms of this disease in the animal, such as an anomalous behavior. Specifically this anomalous behavior can be, among others, that the horse is very uneasy and that it lies down and rises repeatedly. Once any of the symptoms has been detected, veterinarians must perform the corresponding tests to determine the treatment of the horse, that is, the use of drugs or surgical intervention, depending on the stage in which the disease is found.
10 Debido a la detection visual de los smtomas del colico equino, por parte de los veterinarios, es habitual que su diagnostico se realice en estados avanzados de la enfermedad, y por tanto el tratamiento del colico se complica. De este modo, aumentan las probabilidades de requerir una intervencion quirurgica, asi como las opciones de fallecimiento del caballo.10 Due to the visual detection of the symptoms of equine colic, by veterinarians, it is common for their diagnosis to be made in advanced stages of the disease, and therefore the treatment of colic is complicated. In this way, they increase the chances of requiring surgical intervention, as well as the horse's death options.

Mas concretamente, segun los datos proporcionados por las companias aseguradoras en Espana hay mas de 800 colicos equinos mensuales, de los cuales unos 240 derivan en la necesidad de realizar una intervencion quirurgica de alto coste, y unos 160 caballos fallecen mensualmente debido al colico equino.More specifically, according to the data provided by the insurance companies in Spain there are more than 800 equine colicos per month, of which about 240 result in the need for high-cost surgical intervention, and about 160 horses die monthly due to the equine colic.
20twenty
De este modo, aproximadamente un 30% de los caballos diagnosticados con colico equino requieren de una intervencion quirurgica. Mientras que un 20% de los caballos, diagnosticados con colico, fallecen incluyendo los caballos que no superaron la intervencion quirurgica. Debido a esto, el colico equino produce un gran impacto negativoThus, approximately 30% of horses diagnosed with colic colic require surgical intervention. While 20% of horses, diagnosed with colic, die including horses that did not pass the surgical intervention. Because of this, the equine colic produces a great negative impact
25 en el sector ecuestre.25 in the equestrian sector.
Otro problema importante del sector ecuestre es el causado por otro tipo de comportamiento anomalo de los caballos que descansan en cabellerizas. Concretamente, cuando el caballo se tumba en la caballeriza, cerca de una pared o unaAnother important problem of the equestrian sector is that caused by another type of anomalous behavior of horses that rest in scalps. Specifically, when the horse is lying in the stable, near a wall or a
30 esquina, puede resultar bloqueado contra esta y por tanto cuando intenta levantarse, no puede hacerlo por si mismo. Esto es debido a que para levantarse requieren de amplias zonas libres de obstaculos. Esta situation causa estres y es peligrosa para el animal, ya que son conocidos multitud de casos en que los caballos bloqueados se han lesionado extremidades al intentar levantarse. Actualmente, la unica forma de detectar este30 corner, can be blocked against it and therefore when you try to get up, you can not do it by yourself. This is because to get up they require large areas free of obstacles. This situation causes stress and is dangerous for the animal, since many cases are known in which the blocked horses have injured limbs when trying to get up. Currently, the only way to detect this
problema es mediante la supervision visual del responsable de la explotacion equina o del dueno del caballo, y por tanto, dependiendo de la explotacion equina, el caballo puede pasarse horas en dicha situation antes de ser encontrado.The problem is through the visual supervision of the person in charge of the equine exploitation or the owner of the horse, and therefore, depending on the equine exploitation, the horse can spend hours in said situation before being found.

- avisar, mediante la unidad de control, del comportamiento anomalo del caballo.- warn, through the control unit, of the anomalous behavior of the horse.
Concretamente el sensor y la barrera estan habitualmente comprendidos en el cuerpo. Su posicionamiento en la caballeriza se realiza de forma manual en la superficie interior de una pared, o esquina, de dicha caballeriza donde descansa el caballo. El sensor de movimiento se posiciona preferentemente entre 170 cm y 265 cm con respecto el suelo de la caballeriza, mientras que la barrera de infrarrojos se posiciona preferentemente entre 110 cm y 170 cm tambien con respecto el suelo de la caballeriza.Specifically, the sensor and the barrier are usually included in the body. Its positioning in the stable is done manually on the inside surface of a wall, or corner, of said stable where the horse rests. The motion sensor is preferably positioned between 170 cm and 265 cm with respect to the floor of the riding stable, while the infrared barrier is preferably positioned between 110 cm and 170 cm also with respect to the floor of the riding stable.
De modo preferente, el sensor de movimiento se activa cuando la unidad de control determina que el caballo esta tumbado, mientras que la barrera de infrarrojos habitualmente se encuentra activa, y por tanto siempre comprueba si el caballo esta tumbado o erguido.Preferably, the motion sensor is activated when the control unit determines that the horse is lying, while the infrared barrier is usually active, and therefore always checks if the horse is lying or standing.
En caso que la unidad de control determina que el caballo se encuentra tumbado durante mas de 20 minutos sin presentar un comportamiento anomalo, se considera que el caballo esta sano y por tanto no se avisa al responsable de este. Adicionalmente, en esta situation la unidad de control reinicia los valores que ha determinado anteriormente, a partir de la informacion del sensor de movimiento y de la barrera de infrarrojos, y los sustituye por nuevos valores que determina en los siguientes 20 minutos. Estos nuevos valores tambien son determinados a partir de la informacion del sensor y de la barrera. De este modo, se determina el comportamiento del caballo constantemente y se evitan falsas alarmas.If the control unit determines that the horse is lying for more than 20 minutes without presenting an anomalous behavior, it is considered that the horse is healthy and therefore the person responsible for it is not notified. Additionally, in this situation the control unit restarts the values that it has previously determined, based on the information of the motion sensor and the infrared barrier, and replaces them with new values that it determines in the next 20 minutes. These new values are also determined from the information of the sensor and the barrier. In this way, the horse's behavior is determined constantly and false alarms are avoided.
Sin embargo, si la unidad de control determina que el numero de repeticiones en que elHowever, if the control unit determines that the number of repetitions in which the
caballo se levanta, y/o se tumba, es igual o superior a 3 en un periodo igual o inferior a 10 minutos y que mientras esta tumbado se mueve constantemente, se considera un primer tipo de comportamiento anomalo. Concretamente, se considera que existe riesgo de colico equino, y se avisa de tal situation, preferentemente se notifica al responsable del 5 caballo mediante una llamada telefonica, un mensaje de texto, un correo electronico o una combination de las opciones anteriores. Esta notification se realiza mediante el puerto de comunicacion, tipo de conexion a internet, comprendido en la unidad de control.horse gets up, and / or lies down, is equal to or greater than 3 in a period equal to or less than 10 minutes and that while lying down is constantly moving, it is considered a first type of anomalous behavior. Specifically, it is considered that there is a risk of horse colic, and such situation is notified, preferably the person responsible for the horse is notified by a telephone call, a text message, an email or a combination of the above options. This notification is made through the communication port, type of internet connection, included in the control unit.
10 Finalmente, si la unidad de control determina que el caballo se encuentra tumbado y que se mueve constantemente se considera un segundo tipo de comportamiento anomalo. Concretamente, se considera que el caballo esta tumbado y puede estar bloqueado contra una pared de la caballeriza, y se avisa de tal situacion, preferentemente se notifica al responsable del caballo mediante una llamada telefonica, un mensaje de texto, un 15 correo electronico o una combinacion de las opciones anteriores. Esta notificacion se realiza mediante el puerto de conexion a internet de la unidad de control.10 Finally, if the control unit determines that the horse is lying and that it is constantly moving, it is considered a second type of anomalous behavior. Specifically, it is considered that the horse is lying and may be locked against a wall of the stable, and is notified of such situation, preferably the person responsible for the horse is notified by a phone call, a text message, an email or a combination of the above options. This notification is made through the internet connection port of the control unit.
Por otro lado la camara de grabacion, mediante la que se registra la actividad del caballo, esta preferentemente comprendida en dicho cuerpo. Dicha camara, de forma no 20 limitativa, se posiciona entre 200 cm y 270 cm con respecto al suelo de la caballeriza y entre 5 cm y 30 cm por encima del sensor de movimiento.On the other hand, the recording camera, by means of which the activity of the horse is recorded, is preferably included in said body. Said chamber, in a non-limiting manner, is positioned between 200 cm and 270 cm with respect to the floor of the stable and between 5 cm and 30 cm above the motion sensor.
De este modo, el responsable del caballo puede comprobar en cualquier momento de forma remota y en tiempo real el estado y actividad del caballo, asi como la gravedad del 25 comportamiento anomalo y si requiere de modo urgente asistencia veterinaria o ayuda para levantarse.In this way, the person in charge of the horse can check at any time remotely and in real time the state and activity of the horse, as well as the severity of the anomalous behavior and if it urgently requires veterinary assistance or help to get up.
Adicionalmente, gracias a esta configuration cuando la unidad de control determina un comportamiento anomalo puede enviar, habitualmente por correo electronico, un video 30 del caballo mostrando dicho comportamiento a su responsable.Additionally, thanks to this configuration, when the control unit determines an anomalous behavior, you can send, usually by email, a video 30 of the horse showing that behavior to its person in charge.
Este dispositivo, y su metodo, para la detection de comportamiento anomalo de caballos permite por un lado diagnosticar de forma prematura el colico equino, y por otro lado determinar si el caballo esta tumbado y bloqueado contra una pared de la caballeriza.This device, and its method, for the detection of anomalous behavior of horses allows on the one hand to diagnose prematurely the equine colic, and on the other hand to determine if the horse is lying and locked against a wall of the stable.
Gracias a su configuration, este dispositivo reduce el numero de urgencias quirurgicas y el numero defunciones de caballos, representando una ventaja economica para los responsables de las explotaciones equinas. Este dispositivo tambien mejora la calidad de 5 vida de los caballos, ya que detecta rapidamente el colico y por tanto su tratamiento es mas rapido y efectivo, reduciendo el sufrimiento del caballo.Thanks to its configuration, this device reduces the number of surgical emergencies and the number of deaths of horses, representing an economic advantage for those responsible for equine holdings. This device also improves the quality of life of the horses, since it quickly detects the colic and therefore its treatment is faster and more effective, reducing the suffering of the horse.
Adicionalmente, gracias a este dispositivo si el caballo se tumba muy proximo a una de las paredes de la caballeriza y no puede levantarse por si mismo, se detecta 10 rapidamente, evitando que pase horas intentado levantarse hasta que el responsable de la explotacion equina lo detecte y le ayude. De este modo se reduce el estres psicologo y fisico del animal que se encuentra en esta situation, mejorando su calidad de vida y evitando lesiones.Additionally, thanks to this device, if the horse is lying very close to one of the walls of the stable and cannot get up on its own, it is quickly detected, preventing hours spent trying to get up until the head of the equine exploitation detects it and help you. This reduces the psychological and physical stress of the animal that is in this situation, improving its quality of life and avoiding injuries.
15 Finalmente, este dispositivo supervisa, y comunica al responsable del caballo, dos de los comportamientos anomalos equinos que mayor repercusion tienen en el sector ecuestre, y que actualmente unicamente se pueden supervisar en persona por personal cualificado.15 Finally, this device supervises, and communicates to the person responsible for the horse, two of the equine anomalous behaviors that have the greatest impact on the equestrian sector, and currently can only be monitored in person by qualified personnel.
