Biosecurity: A core principle of Equipass

Biosecurity: A core principle of Equipass

Biosecurity is a critical pillar of responsible horse management, and it plays a central role in the design of Equipass. By providing reliable information on a horse’s health, vaccination status, and movement history, Equipass helps minimise disease risk, support welfare, and uphold the integrity of equestrian sport globally.

Aligning with global standards

Equipass is inspired by global biosecurity recommendations, particularly those developed by the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH). WOAH provides internationally recognised standards and guidance for animal health management, disease prevention, and the safe movement of animals across borders. Their strategy focuses on early detection, risk reduction, and coordinated action — principles that underpin Equipass’ approach to digital traceability and health monitoring.
By linking directly to verified FEI data and capturing accurate, up-to-date vaccination and identification records, Equipass helps owners, veterinarians, and authorities implement biosecurity practices in line with WOAH guidelines. This ensures that horses moving between countries or competitions do so with the highest level of safety and compliance.

Enhancing welfare and risk management

Equipass supports proactive health management and responsible horse movement. Future features will expand biosecurity and traceability tools, enabling early risk detection, better veterinary oversight, and streamlined reporting for authorities. By consolidating essential data in a secure, digital platform, Equipass empowers all stakeholders, to make informed decisions while keeping horses safe.
By combining digital innovation with globally recognised biosecurity standards, Equipass strengthens equine welfare, safeguards competitions, and contributes to a healthier, more connected horse sport community worldwide.
