Don’t miss the National
Equine Forum 2023
WHAT: National Equine Forum (NEF)
WHEN: Thursday, March 2 from 10am - 4.30pm
WHERE: London and live streamed
WHILE face-to-face tickets are now in very short supply for
the National Equine Forum (NEF) on March 2, it will be live
streamed again this year, giving everyone the opportunity
to purchase a ticket and enjoy the event.
The programme and full speaker details are available to
view now on the NEF website. Both face-to-face attendees
and live streaming delegates can submit questions quickly
and easily via Slido from February 27.
A first-class mix of topics will cover industry
advancements in science, health, welfare and sport,
delivered by highly knowledgeable and engaging speakers
comprising government ministers, leading vets and industry
professionals.
The Equine Industry in a Changing World will include
contributions from Defra, as well as an update on health,
welfare and traceability initiatives and the public perception
of equestrianism.
Opportunities and challenges for the future of the
equestrian sector will include an update on the BETA
National Equestrian Survey, as well as factors implicating
grassroots access to riding, which will include case studies
exploring how it is possible to establish a riding school in
the current climate.
Equine health update will include the latest information
on infectious diseases and the launch of a new anthelmintic
resistance initiative.
How to tackle unwanted behaviours will explore the
science behind how horses and humans learn, why horses
behave in the way they do, and how behaviours can be
changed. It will centre on a case study of how learning
theory helped one horse and rider partnership get back on
track.
The roles and responsibilities of influencers will involve
representatives from leading equestrian print, online and
social media discussing the role of the media.
There will also be two brief topical discussions, including
the launch of the Equine Fitters Council and discussions
about the development of RAMP (Registered Animal
Musculoskeletal Practitioner). There will be a special
interview with Charlie Thornycroft on her volunteer work
with British Equestrians for Ukraine Fund and the winner of
the Sir Colin Spedding Award will be announced.
