Equestrians from all over the world will travel to the Land Down Under to attend the annual International Society for Equitation Science (ISES) conference, taking place Nov. 22-25 at Charles Sturt University in Wagga Wagga, New South Wales, Australia.

This year’s theme, “Equitation Science in Practice: Collaboration, Communication, and Change,” will provide attendees the opportunity to consider how the use of horses from leisure, to work, to sport, goes hand-in-hand with equine welfare. The three-day conference will offer a forum at which traditional practices and contemporary research findings will be discussed by practitioners (horse trainers, instructors/coaches, and riders), equine-related degree students, researchers, academics, and policy makers working to develop training and husbandry approaches to help ensure horses are managed in the most ethical and sustainable way possible.

The conference theme will focus on key questions:

  • As horse people interacting with other horse people are we effective communicators?
  • Are we skillful and proficient at collaborating with others?
  • Do we have the capacity and willingness to adapt our thoughts, consider and work with those of others, increase our knowledge and behavior?
  • Are we able to analyze our actions and the effects they have on horse welfare?

World-leading experts speaking at the conference will provide a framework for collaboration, communication, and change against which the most recent research findings from all over the world will be presented. ISES 2017 Down Under offers a range of plenaries and interactive workshops facilitated by experts
