Why does Exceed Equine own racehorses?
We are a research company driven by data and science. Other so-called product developers that own horses utilize retired horses in a non-competitive environment to develop and test their products. By owning our own stable of racehorses, Exceed develops and then validates all of our technologies in a real-world competitive environment.
What is Exceed Equine's long-term goal?
To become the most trusted brand in the performance horse market, delivering products and services globally validated by science and proven effective on our own stable of racehorses. Simultaneously, we are developing new protocols that will educate all industry participants on best practices for the health and welfare of all performance horses.
Why does Exceed Equine own Standardbred horses and not the more popular Thoroughbred breed?
Although the Thoroughbred market (flat racing) is significantly larger, for testing and validation purposes, the Standardbred (harness racing) industry stands out. Standardbreds are less expensive, sturdier, and have longer careers on average than Thoroughbreds, allowing us to achieve our goals sooner and more cost-effectively.
What are the different types of technologies that Exceed Equine utilizes and are they proprietary?
We utilize sensor technology that we license through partners to actually collect the raw data generated by the horse. It is our proprietary process that transfers that data into actionable information that is utilized to improve performance, fitness, health and overall equine welfare.
How do you know it works?
We are constantly testing and iterating on our own horses using baseline and trend data. This allows us to evolve our training and care protocols to make certain our horses are getting the maximum benefit from the Exceed system.
Where are you located?
Our facility is located in Felton, Delaware where the company operates approximately 50 acres. Our facility includes our own private track, with custom surfaces, stalls for 28 horses, and an approximately 6,000 sq.ft. therapy, training and research facility.
What are some of the programs that Exceed Equine will offer?
Our programs will include profiling (the ability to determine a horse's maximum performance level prior to the beginning of his racing career), lameness detection and treatment programs, physical and mental stress evaluation programs, and many others.
Does Exceed Equine make some of the products that they sell or are they just a distributor?
Exceed manufacturers a full line of nutraceutical products that are tested on its own stable of racehorses and validated through objective scientific processes. Exceed Equine has spent years sourcing out the best products from global manufacturers.
Why am I better off buying products and services from Exceed Equine than other websites?
Exceed Equine understands the importance of product visibility and validation along with the process of simplistic purchasing. Our goal is to be the largest aggregator of performance-based products and services providing the ultimate one-stop shop for performance horse owners.
Will Exceed Equine own other types of racehorses besides Standardbreds?
Our stable of Standardbred racehorses represents our initial entrance into racing. As we continue to evolve and create success with our proprietary health and training programs, we will expand into the Thoroughbred arena.
