Thursday 18th September

Location: Chat Stage

Designed for vets, physios, Farriers and all other equestrian professionals

On Thursday, 18 September, the equestrian biz hub is hosting a full day of learning and discussion. This is a chance for vets, physios, riders, farriers, and other equine professionals to come together and explore how shoeing choices shape soundness and performance.

Four leading speakers will share practical cases, examine the “why’ behind each shoeing decision, and how farriery influences the horse across discipline and breeds.

Successful outcomes rely on professionals working together; seeing every angle, asking better questions, and making informed decisions that support the horse’s long-term soundness and performance.

Expect Practical insight, open discussion, and knowledge you can put into action the next day- all while enjoying access to the European Championships.

This unique event is ticketed, please book your tickets here!
