Equiratings is a sports data analysis company that provides performance metrics, ratings and content specifically for the equestrian events industry.
Background
The company was started by childhood friends, attorney Diarmuid Byrne and Irish national olympic equestrian sliver medal event rider, Sam Watson in 2015.[1]
The company produces the EquiRatings Eventing and Jumping Podcasts, hosted by Nicole Brown, and the EquiRatings Quality Index (EQRI) which uses data analysis to determine the likelihood of a rider-horse combination completing a cross-country course.[2][3] The eventing podcast produces over 200 episodes yearly while the jumping podcast produces approximately 50 episodes a year.[4][5]
This information is used by event organizers, Olympic teams and governing bodies, including the US Eventing Association, to improve safety and reduce the risk of accidents.[6][7] The company became the official metrics provider for Equestrian Australia, the national organization of Australia.[8]
EquiRatings teamed with SAP to design a statistical model that forecasts the results of major eventing competitions before and during the event. Pre-competition and post each phase, it simulates the competition 10,000 times, and updates its projected leaderboard and the estimated probability of victory, podium or top 10 for each pair.[9]
EquiRatings Quality Index (EQRI)
The EquiRatings Quality Index (EQRI) was introduced in 2016 and helps manage the risk of horses and riders across equestrian events around the world.[10][11][12][13]
