6th International Equitation Science Conference 
Uppsala, Sweden 
ISES 
 
 

The primary aim of ISES Sweden 2010 is to stimulate debate about the interdisciplinary approach of learning, training and education to improve horse welfare and human safety. Furthermore, participants will gain insight into Swedish education and research related to equitation science.


Scientific contributions for oral and poster presentations are invited that address the overall theme and sub-themes. Delegates may focus on:
  • Human-horse interaction, i.e. matching horse and human, measuring humans’ signals and horses’ responses and vice versa.
  • Biomechanics and physiology of the horse and its importance for understanding and improving training methods
  • Breed and genetic differences in relation to equitation, i.e. the horses’ predispositions for different disciplines, and personal ability
  • The use of gadgets in horse training
  • Education of trainers, instructors and coaches, i.e. didactics and how learning outcomes can be measured
  • The jungle of terminology – how can we improve communication within and between disciplines and cultures
  • Safety aspects in equitation
  • Welfare aspects of horses in different disciplines, i.e. tools to assess welfare parameters such as distress, pain, fatigue, recovery, and conflict behaviours

Registration from December 2009

Deadline for abstract submission March 2010
