4TH International Research Conference
Welfare and Performance of the Ridden Horse: The Future
How science is increasingly important in giving us an evidence base for best practice in ridden horse management.
We are delighted to announce our recent conference, which presented the latest ground-breaking research. The SRT 4th International Conference ‘Welfare & Performance of the Ridden Horse: The Future', was held virtually on Saturday 11th December 2021.
The conference hosted world renowned speakers and session chairs who presented the most up-to-date research in the field, leading fantastic discussions and allowing you to experience the advances in welfare and performance of the ridden horse. We would like to thank our sponsors, without whose continued support this event could not take place. The defining feature of our conferences is the high quality of all the presentations, and this year was no exception. Please visit our 'Meet the Speakers' page to view our keynote speakers and speakers for each session. With this years' move to a virtual format it exciting to note that the viewing figures online for the previous conference in 2018 reached 52 countries worldwide, proving that there is a huge demand for scientific research, especially when it is presented in a way which is easily accessible and understandable for all. The livestreaming of the 2021 conference was extended to be fully interactive and to enable the vibrant atmosphere and networking opportunities for all. The Catch-Up is available to ticket holders until Monday 17th January 2021 with a session by session review releases available form late January 2021.
We hope you enjoyed SRT2021
