 The National Equine Forum takes place this year in London on Thursday 2nd March. Although face-to-face tickets are now in very short supply you can still purchase a ticket to take part in the day virtually. 

The programme and full speaker details are available on the NEF website – everyone will be able to submit questions quickly and easily via Slido from 27 February 2023. Topics across the equine world include health, welfare and sport, and scientific advances, all tackled by speakers including government ministers, leading vets and industry professionals.

The Equine Industry in a Changing World will include contributions from Defra, as well 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.
