The research is devoted to a review of innovative technologies used in the world horse breeding. Innovations include ensuring a long, healthy life for horses, precision medicine, laser and PRP therapy, rehabilitation and training programs, monitoring media platforms, genetic and biotechnological methods, development of ecological and safe coatings, use of recycled materials for buildings, automated microclimate systems and waste collection, automatic feed dispensers with customized schedules, real-time feed and water consumption monitoring tools.

The most revolutionary ideas concern the development of smart technologies for horse training with monitoring of physical condition. Such developments include wearable GPS tracking devices and heart rate monitors, trackers for tracking horse movement over distances, satellite tracking technologies, saddle pads with sensors of active points on the horse’s body, a horse movement analysis system, 3D imaging and motion capture tools, and mounting headsets for athletes. Much attention is paid to the safety of equestrian sports, especially children’s and parasports, in connection with which protective equipment has been developed (helmets made of modern materials, pneumatic jackets and vests). An important sector of innovation in horse breeding is technologies that have a positive impact on the environment – the use of environmentally friendly materials and construction technologies in the construction of stables and sports arenas, the use of ecological bedding, manure composting systems with subsequent processing into organic fertilizers, energy-efficient design, the use of renewable energy, landscaping of horse breeding areas. It is noted that the horse breeding of the future, along with all areas of human activity, is closely related to the further development and integration of technologies.

According to the results of the research, the prospects for the development of technologies in horse breeding are outlined.
