Case Study: Black Horse One achieves secure, real-time, paperless dressage events with SAP HANA Cloud

How can security, reliability, and performance digitally transform equestrian sports

Black Horse One’s eDressage™ platform modernizes the exacting world of dressage by replacing paper-based judging and manual scoring with a secure, high-performance digital system. Facing complex judging processes, high labor costs, and the need to run events both virtually and in person, the company required a cloud database that could deliver reliability, fast response times, and strong data security to win over organizers, judges, and athletes.

Built on SAP HANA Cloud, eDressage™ consolidates data from multiple sources into a single, scalable, real-time platform that enables paperless judging, remote rider training, live video and statistics for fans, and efficient event operations. The solution is now used at 58% of major international shows, cutting paper use by 92% and staffing needs for scoring and visualization by 50%, while improving performance, security, and fan engagement.
