Organised by the National Equine Forum, this webinar took place on Wednesday 27th January 2021. It took a practical look at different perspectives on equine weight management, from across the equestrian sector, including the views of a horse owner, livery yard owner and coach, an equine welfare officer, an equine vet, a nutritionist and a competition judge.

The panel of speakers aimed to identify what prevents owners/carers from managing horse, pony and donkey weight effectively, despite many previous and ongoing attempts from industry to effect change. They also explored how obstacles may be overcome with discussions supported by a human behaviour change researcher.

The webinar was chaired by Prof Pat Harris, and included speakers: Lucy Grieve, Helen Gale, Beth Maloney, Liz Bulbrook, David Ingle, Penny Baker and Dr Tamzin Furtado. Further details can be found on our website, here.
