Raddery Diskmark Ltd is a horse riding field located in Fortrose, Scotland. It is dedicated to revolutionising the spectator experience in Endurance Horse Racing. Unlike traditional races where spectators can only observe the veterinary examinations, Raddery Diskmark integrates systems that allow for spectator involvement in various activities during the race.
One of their notable products is the Electronic Heart Rate Monitor. This system provides a transparent, consistent, and accurate method of measuring and publicly displaying the heart rate of a horse during the veterinary inspection. The process involves placing a sensor handle on the left chest wall of the horse, which analyses the electrical activity of the heart and displays the heart rate in beats per minute format. The veterinary doctor maintains contact with the handle and horse for a specific period to obtain an assessment of the heart rate.
If the heart rate falls within the prescribed range, it is recorded. If not, the horse may be asked to represent within a given time.
The advantages of the Electronic Heart Rate Monitor system are numerous. It provides an objective method of assessing the heart rate of every horse in an endurance race, removing any potential for human error. It ensures that each horse is assessed using the same criteria, creating a level playing field for all competitors. The system is managed by Raddery Diskmark technicians, adding an unbiased validity to the process.
Importantly, this system enhances the spectator experience, as the heart rate information is displayed to all spectators, crews, and riders, adding a new dimension to the competitiveness of the race.
Raddery Diskmark Ltd is directed by Bryan J Smith and Paul Mills, with support staff including Craig Longshaw, Douglas Munro, Oliver Smith, and Richard White. In addition to these staff members, they also collaborate with a team of “backroom staff” who work on short term contracts to carry out specific development tasks. They have a diverse supplier and contractor base from around the world, including countries like Scotland, Denmark, Holland, Dubai, Malaysia, and America.
