Complexity and Connection: Determinants of performance for Riders with Ash Wallace
Thursday 5th February @ 19:00 HRS GMT
Complexity and Connection: Determinants of performance for Riders with Ash Wallace
Rider performance in equestrian sport is shaped by a complex and highly connected system, where success depends on understanding both the human and equine contributors to performance. By identifying key human determinants, physical, psychological, and lifestyle related, alongside on-horse and off-horse performance , riders and support teams can take a whole-system approach to development.

Equine Rehabilitation: Science, Challenges and Practical Guidelines with Solange Michèle Schrijer
Thursday 12 February 2026 @ 19:00 HRS GMT
Equine Rehabilitation: Science, Challenges and Practical Guidelines: from neuro(physio)logical and biomechanical perspective with Solange Michèle Schrijer
Where correct diagnostics and treatment already challenge any practitioner in the veterinary field, rehabilitation and working towards optimal functioning even surpass those efforts as a consequence of the complexity of factors intervening with the results.
The aim of this webinar is providing insights and tools to both professionals and interested horse owners, by shedding light on current science and principles basing "the main roads" during rehabilitation, with shared practical guidelines how to deal with the complexity of influencing factors when rehabilitating our horses.
For all attendees, CPD certificates available as well as a “view only” recording of the webinar with a year access access pass. There will also be a Q and A session with ample opportunity to post questions via our interactive Q&A panel.

A Pain in the Neck: Turning Improved Diagnostics into Meaningful Treatment Strategies with Dr Rachel Tucker
This session will discuss the presentation and identification of neck pain and radiculopathy in horses and how advances in veterinary diagnostic methods are improving our diagnostic capabilities. I will talk through the current veterinary treatment options and how these integrate with physical therapies and a rehabilitation program. Discussion will include my experience of performing minimally invasive foraminotomy and keyhole surgery of the articular process joints, focussing on how careful case selection offers the key to a great outcome.

A Behavioural Approach to Bitting: What the Ridden Horse Need with Olivia Turner
Thursday 19th March 2026 @ 19:00 HRS GMT
A Behavioural Approach to Bitting: What the Ridden Horse Need with Olivia Turner
In this sessions, the horse needs from a ridden perspective specifically with bits and bitting in mind will be disucssed. The bit is one of the main points of communication between horse and rider and it’s very important this tool is correctly fitted and comfortable for the horse. When we know what to look for, we can read a horse accurately and can recognise what they are or aren’t happy with, which is essential when we’re deciding what bit to use. Sometimes what looks like a bitting issue is actually an issue caused by something else, so knowing how to read the situation correctly and address the root cause of the problem is an important part of ensuring ridden horse welfare.
