Welcome
As chair of the Local Organising Committee and representative of ISES it gives us great pleasure to welcome you to Sweden for ISES Sweden 2010.
The 6th Conference of the International Society for Equitation Science will be held at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) and practical demonstrations will take place at the Swedish National Equestrian Centre. SLU is home to Sweden’s centre for research into animal husbandry and animal welfare and equine research is considered to be of high standard.
The Conference is appropriate as Sweden has a thriving horse industry with a deeply rooted tradition of horse management and breeding and is a country with one of the highest numbers of horses per head in Europe.
We expect an exciting meeting with equitation scientists, industry leaders, policy makers and riders and coaches from around the world to engage in debates about the interdisciplinary approach of learning, training and education to improve horse welfare and human safety. Latest research in the field of equitation science will be presented but participants will also gain insight into Swedish education and research related to equitation science.
We are looking forward to a successful ISES Sweden 2010 and would like to thank everyone who contributes in making this event enjoyable and informative.
