Anyone have it and is it any good? I'm constantly worrying about my EMS horse and monitoring his digital pulses and soundness, would be useful to have another method of assessing how he's feeling. Would be very interested in any feedback.

No-one tried this then? I've had a look at it (not using the app as I can't seem to download it) and tried to apply the facial expressions to my own horse, but cannot decide if it has much merit. The research group who developed the technique using recently castrated horses have now said that the research is valid for laminitics too and can be used when assessing degrees of laminitis pain, sounds interesting, but would love to hear others opinions..
