Built by riders. Engineered for horses.
Sentavita is an early-stage hardware and technology company building a continuous health monitoring platform for horses. Founded by a team with decades of experience at the highest levels of international equestrian sport, we are developing the first wearable device of its kind designed for everyday use, across every discipline, at every level of the sport. We are not ready to share the full details publicly, but we are ready to bring the right people in. We are looking for driven, experienced individuals across engineering, design, and technology to join a small, focused team at an early stage.

C.H.C. Horses SA is a jumping stable in Sementina, Ticino, Switzerland home to Corbinian, Venard de Cerisy, and Dynamix de Belheme, three of the most decorated horses in modern show jumping, all ridden by Steve Guerdat, 2012 Olympic Champion and current world number one. These are the horses Sentavita is being built with and built for. A horse competing at the highest level gives everything. We exist to give something back the ability to see inside that animal every day, catch warning signs early, and extend the years it competes in health and comfort. Beyond the individual horse, we are rebuilding how the equestrian community connects around the actual wellbeing of horses, not just results. Sentavita is not just a sensor. It is the infrastructure for a healthier, more connected horse world.
That experience taught us one thing: the horse cannot speak. Every decision depends on human intuition and reactive care. We believe that is no longer good enough.
What we’re building
Sentavita is a Swiss startup reshaping the equine world through smart wearables focused on the longevity of the horse, not just performance. Based in Ticino, we co-design our products with athletes and are currently in our testing phase. Our mission is to make equine health accessible to all, fostering harmony between horse wellbeing and the wider riding community.
Full access to project architecture, design documentation, and engineering brief will be released after review and a confidentiality agreement.
