Conference 2016 – The Invisible Horse
The 2016 World Horse Welfare Conference will take place on Thursday 10 November at the Royal Geographical Society in London exploring the theme of ‘The Invisible Horse’.
We will explore what makes a suffering horse – or one that is likely to suffer – ‘invisible’ and the essential role of charities and others in bringing them into the light and their ongoing work to tackle the root causes of their invisibility.
A range of influential presenters will help us develop our theme including:
- His Highness Sheikh Sultan Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Chairman of Emirates Heritage Club in the UAE, on The Bouthib Initiative, a way of valuing welfare above speed in the sport of endurance
- Chris Riggs of the Hong Kong Jockey Club on the ongoing development of equine health and welfare standards in China
- Broadcaster, journalist, author and lecturer Anthony Hilton on trust in charities
- Michele Madden, Managing Director of charity research consultancy NFP Synergy on rebuilding trust
Our discussion panel, chaired by Suzanne Dando Reynolds will help lead a debate on the role of charity in equine welfare in the UK. Panellists include:
- Harry Meade – International event rider and Dodson & Horrell Ambassador
- Angela Smith – Labour MP for Penistone & Stocksbridge
- Tim Morris – Member of the Animal Health and Welfare Board for England
- Louise Kittle – Editor of Horse & Rider and Pony magazines
- Barry Johnson MRCVS – Chairman of World Horse Welfare
