Pawing
Striking the bedding over and over with a front hoof.
Between the last check at night and the first one at dawn, nobody is watching. HCS is.
A horse can go from settled to a surgical colic in the time it takes a yard to sleep. The morning feed is not an alarm. It is a discovery.
A typical night, unwatchedSomething happened here
Illustration, not a recorded case — HCS has no installations yet.
HCS starts with colic, because colic announces itself in the body long before anyone hears about it. These are the behaviours it is being trained to recognise.

Striking the bedding over and over with a front hoof.

Going down hard and rolling, often repeatedly.

Head turned back to stare at its own belly.

Lying, rising, lying again, never settling.
Colic is the only behaviour HCS commits to today. Anything else you have read about camera AI — foaling, lameness, cast horses — we have not built and will not claim.
The camera watches the box. The model reads posture, repetition and time, not motion alone. When the pattern holds long enough to mean something, one cell lights and your phone does the rest.
Continuously, through the dark, without a person in the loop.
Posture and repetition over time — not every movement is distress.
You are woken. What happens next is still yours to decide.
HCS does not treat, diagnose or replace your vet. It shortens the gap between something going wrong and somebody knowing.
We are building. Nothing here is for sale yet, and this page is not going to pretend otherwise.
What we want right now is stables to build this with — barns willing to let us look at real nights.
The horse in the box does not know how many others are in the yard.
One horse or five, at home or on livery, and the worry that follows you to bed.
Other people's horses, overnight, with your name on the duty of care.
Bloodlines with decades of work in them, alone in a box at 3am.
Athletes whose bad night costs a season.
Tell us about your yard. How many horses, where, and what your nights look like now. We answer ourselves — there is no sales team.
