Press Release: Simon Brooks-Ward Joins the Board of Directors at Equiyd
Equiyd, the digital platform transforming how horse owners, riders, and professionals connect through data, is proud to announce that Simon Brooks-Ward has joined its Board of Directors.
As Chairman and Founder of The HPower Group, Simon has overseen some of the world’s most prestigious equestrian events, including The Royal Windsor Horse Show, The London International Horse Show and The Longines Hong Kong International Horse Show, as well as landmark national commemorations and royal celebrations. His leadership, experience, and service to the sport make him one of the most respected figures in global equestrianism.
At Equiyd, the team’s background lies in deep technology, healthcare, and elite performance analytics - developing systems used across the NHS and Formula 1 to enhance precision, safety, and performance. United by a passion for horses, the founders recognised that the equestrian world needed to go digital - and that at the heart of any innovation lies data.
Building an exceptional board has been central to Equiyd’s vision, ensuring the company is guided by the best minds in both technology and the equestrian sector. Having someone as highly regarded as Simon join the Board, with his deep understanding of the sport, its riders, events, and regulators, marks both an honour and a strategic milestone as Equiyd enters its next phase of growth.
Speaking on the announcement, Simon Brooks-Ward said:
The future of equestrianism will be dependent on new ideas, innovation, technology and energy. Equiyd combines all these attributes. Therefore, I am delighted to be a small part of a team that provides a unique service for all of the horse world.
On welcoming Brooks-Ward to the Board, the Co-Founders of Equiyd, added:
As a team, we’ve built some of the world’s leading health and performance systems, from AI-driven clinical decision tools in the NHS to precision analytics in Formula 1, and we’re applying that same depth of innovation to equestrian sport.
But great technology is only as strong as the people guiding it. Having someone as esteemed as Simon Brooks-Ward join our Board is an incredible honour. His knowledge of the sport, its culture, and its governance - from Windsor to London International - will be invaluable as Equiyd continues to grow.
For us, it’s always been about combining data, innovation, and a genuine love for horses. With Simon’s insight and leadership, we’re excited to shape the future of equestrianism together.
Equiyd is building the world’s first connected equine ecosystem, where technology, data, and welfare come together to give every horse a digital identity and every rider the tools to perform at their best.
