The Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the International Society for Equitation Science was held on May 27th, 2025 at 8:00pm UTC.

During the AGM, we presented our annual report and appointed new council members. In addition to the meeting agenda there were four guest speakers who explored this year’s AGM theme “Riding the Equitation Science Path”.

• Researcher speaker – Prof Jane Williams
• Practitioner speaker – Susan Kjærgård
• Student speaker – Mel Behrens Macaulay

The speakers focused on their own journey to and with equitation science. These were very engaging presentations!
