12:05 p.m. – Kate Fenner
- A presentation on Fenner’s PhD project, The Equine Behaviour Assessment Research Questionnaire (E-BARQ), which will provide data for evidence-based practice well into the future. As a competitive rider, equestrian coach and horse trainer for many years, Fenner believes the best way forward to optimize horse welfare and rider safety is to increase awareness of how horses are trained and managed, and how these practices impact on behaviour.
