About Equine Integration

Equine Integration supports and advises riders, coaches, trainers, veterinarians, and specialists in equestrian sports, both nationally and internationally, from top athletes to passionate amateurs. Through innovative measurements during training sessions and competitions, we monitor the physical condition of the horse with precision, developing tailored training programs aimed at optimizing athletic performance in a responsible and health-conscious manner.

Equine Integration has had the privilege of supporting elite athletes in elevating their training, well-being, and performance, contributing to prestigious events like the Olympic Games in London, Rio de Janeiro, Tokyo, and Paris, as well as various European and World Championships. Our guidance helps riders and trainers enhance the physical training of their horses through fitness assessments and customized training regimens. We closely monitor, analyze, and evaluate training sessions and competitions alongside the riders, helping them refine their approach to achieve peak results.

A key component of our approach is EI Potential, a powerful evaluation tool designed by Equine Integration to provide a comprehensive understanding of your horse’s training, well-being, and performance optimization. Based on scientific research, this app evaluates training sessions and programs, focusing on the unique characteristics of each horse—its discipline, training level, and history. The app offers actionable insights that reveal whether training adjustments are necessary, such as intensifying or easing the workload, adding variety, or maintaining consistency to improve both performance and welfare.

Supported by a globally recognized team of equine specialists and data experts, EI Potential translates complex data into practical knowledge, effectively offering the expertise of a top-level coach at your side. At Equine Integration, we prioritize sharing practical knowledge with riders, trainers, and veterinarians, expanding our expertise through the latest scientific literature in both human and equine medicine, and conducting dedicated research to advance equestrian sports.

About Carolien Munsters

In 2010, I began Equine Integration with the intention of employing my expertise in sports physiology to enhance the training and performance of sport horses. With extensive experience as a rider, I have trained several young horses to the national level in dressage, show jumping, and eventing. I find it challenging to translate my experience and scientific knowledge into practical applications so that athletes and coaches can effectively utilize them. I completed my master’s degree in (medical) Biology at Radboud University in 2006. In 2013, I obtained my PhD in equine sports physiology from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine (Equine Science) at Utrecht University.
