BSAS Equine Conference 2025 

Join us for a dynamic two-day Equine Science Conference bringing together researchers, practitioners, para-professionals and horse owners for an in-depth exploration of horse health, performance, and management. This event offers a unique blend of cutting-edge science, practical insights and interactive sessions designed to meet the needs of a broad equestrian audience. 

Day 1 – Scientific Programme 

Friday, 21 November 2025 

The first day is focused on the latest developments in equine research and will feature a series of themed sessions led by keynote speakers, followed by submitted abstracts. 

Morning Sessions: 

• Horse and Rider Performance 

• Nutrition and Feeding 

• Health and Disease 

Afternoon Sessions: 

• Reproduction and Genetics 

• Therapy and Rehabilitation 

• Behaviour and Welfare 

Each session will include a keynote presentation from a leading expert in the field, followed by a selection of submitted research abstracts, offering attendees a chance to hear the latest scientific findings and innovations in equine science. 

Day 2 – Practical & Para-Professional Focus 

Saturday, 22 November 2025 

The second day will appeal to both para-professionals and non-professionals with a focus on translating science into practice and encouraging interactive learning. 

Morning Sessions: 

Para-Professional Stream 

Keynote talks from professionals across a range of disciplines, including farriery, physiotherapy, nutrition, behaviour and more. 

Non-Professional Stream 

Tailored workshops for horse owners and enthusiasts. Participants will be able to select from a variety of interactive sessions with experts on topics related to horse care and management. 

Afternoon Session: 

Plenary Panel Discussion 

Bringing the streams together, this interactive session will feature keynote speakers from the para-professional stream in a panel discussion. They will explore approaches to managing horses with different requirements, answering audience questions in a session moderated by a member of the organising committee. 

This conference offers an ideal platform for knowledge exchange, networking and professional development for everyone involved in equine care and science—from researchers and clinicians to horse owners and students.
