Scientific and technical approach

PROXIMAL expertise

PROXIMAL’s expertise is based on 2 scientific fundamental know-how:

#1 Mastering lighting and LED technology

#2 Regular discussions with professionals’ scientists and horse specialists (vision, locomotion, reproduction, circadian cycle, behaviours, physiology, stress indicators, …)

PROXIMAL comes from a 2-year program of scientific research and field experiments with professionals of the equine industry.

A lot of work has been done on the respiratory environment of the horse but the light aspect has for the moment been relatively neglected.

I think that PROXIMAL‘s approach is differentiating, original and quantitative to evaluate for example through their first study the effect of better lighting of a truck or horse-trailer for loading horses as well as the stress and well-being aspect that can be associated.
