This was formed in 2004 and consists of a core group of those interested in all matters equine. As well as helping to organise the biennial Emerging Equine Science meeting (2003, 2005), it liaises with the EAAP Horse Commission and is bidding for a European conference in 2008 on Equine Nutrition.

Building on the success of the Emerging Equine Science event held in 2003 at the Royal Agricultural College, the BSAS have formed an Equine Interest Group' open to all students, lecturers, vets and industry professionals in the field. The group will meet in stimulating environments such as prestigious research centres and equine establishments to forge new bonds between industry and academia, and promote equine research through collaboration and focused tutorial sessions. For more information regarding joining the interest group where news, views and other information can be shared for mutual benefit please email. andrew.hemmings@royagcol.ac.uk
We would like responses from those who require assistance with adequate sample populations, protocol advice, experiment design or collaboration. New researchers and dissertation students are especially encouraged.
Please keep any question to under 250 words. If you are sending a question, it will be circulated around relevant experts in the BSAS equine committee and posted on the web-page to encourage a response from a wider readership. Answers to posted questions should be addressed to andrew.hemmings@royagcol.ac.uk Answers will be sent directly to the enquirer and a selection will also be posted on the web-page.
We would also like to display experimental results in the period between journal acceptance and publication. Unpublished data from dissertation projects would also be of great value to the site. Please include a concise summary, relevant authors and maybe a chart or diagram - again, please limit your wordage to 250. If you are posting work that is in press, please mention the relevant journal.
Forthcoming equine events such as trade shows, conferences, demonstrations can be posted on the site. If you have an open event at your college or equine establishment - we would love to hear about it!

The second BSAS Equine Conference will focus on the transfer and application of science within the equine industry.

The international website HorseConnexion is launched Tuesday January 11th. The website aims to improve the welfare of horses and the quality of riding and instruction through practical application of scientific equine research.
Ordinary horse owners/riders, even those working in the equine industry,find it very difficult to access and apply the valuable recommendations arising from equine research. There is a clear gap between scientists and practical horse people and research results are not easily put into practice.
HorseConnexion wants to solve this problem and translates scientific knowledge into easily accessible information that can be applied by riding teachers, riding school managers, riders and horse owners. By doing so HorseConnexion wants to improve the management, training and use of horses as well as to improve the quality of riding and instruction.
HorseConnexion is produced in English, Swedish and Dutch, and presents the results of published equine research and provides information about ongoing research projects. We also hope to include news items, for example about books, seminars and other interesting activities taking place in Europe.
Please visit the site at http://www.horseconnexion.org and find out what's in it for you.
If you want to stay informed please go to "Research News" on the site and sign in to receive an e-mail every time the web-site is updated. For more information about the people behind HorseConnexion and on the background and further development of the site please contact Mari Zetterqvist Blokhuis (info@horseconnexion.org).
