Do you know a human, a horse, an organisation or a piece of equipment that has had a beneficial influence on equine welfare and performance? If so they may be eligible for one of eight prestigious Saddle Research Trust (SRT) Awards, to be presented at the Saddle Research Trust Conference this December.
The third SRT International Conference entitled Horse, Rider, Saddlery Interactions: Welfare and Performance will be held on Saturday 8th December at Nottingham University’s De Vere Conference Centre. Jointly sponsored by World Horse Welfare and WOW Saddles, the event will showcase the latest scientific research with presentations from world-renowned equine vets, scientists and researchers. Students, industry professionals and horse owners will have the opportunity to learn about the application of science to horses, riders and saddlery to help improve the health and welfare of both horses and humans. The research to be presented at the Conference in December includes keynote presentations from Dr Sue Dyson and Professor Hilary Clayton. The SRT conference is approved CPD training for many industry professional organisations, including the British Equine Veterinary Association and the Society of Master Saddlers.
