About

History

Alan Wielunski started floating around the idea of developing something like a “Fitbit” for horses in 2015 after witnessing one of his son’s horses Colic. At the time, he didn’t know that Colic was the number one cause of death in adult horses and primary reason for emergency medical intervention. In short, a horse owners worst nightmare.

He discussed the idea with his long time friend, former work colleague and technology expert, Marton Miklos. Marton quickly came on board with the idea, but to round off their extensive entrepreneurial and business experience, they required a top veterinarian to join the team.

In July 2016, Steed Equine Monitoring Solutions was officially founded.

Moving Forward

Like many other startups in the market, the last two plus years have been extremely challenging for us, individually, and as a company. That has not affected our enthusiasm and drive to continue with Steed’s product development. The pandemic has taught us that technology is not something that separates us from our horses, but essential in developing our equestrian skills, and most importantly, real time access to their well-being. Biosecurity issues are now at the forefornt of concerns facing the horse industry and regulators. At Steed, we are adding features and functionality that will address these concerns and more. Thank you for your continued support.
