What may look like a complex horse-drawn  carriage is actually a high-tech way to automate the delicate process of  training racehorses. The horse isn’t pulling the four-and-a-half-ton,  $427,000 vehicle. Rather, the vehicle keeps pace with the animal, and  trainers fit the horse with equipment such as an electrocardiogram  machine, oxygen masks and movement sensors to monitor its performance.  They can then subtly regulate the horse’s speed for optimal training.  Mehmet Kurt, the company’s founder, developed the device after his own  horse died as a result of overtraining and human error. Kurt wanted a  machine that would train horses to their full potential and eliminate  such afflictions as lactic acidosis, by alerting trainers to muscular,  circulatory and respiratory problems early.</blockquote>
