Pre-conference meeting with round table discussion on August 29, 2023 in Utrecht
The International Task Force on Laterality in Sport Horses is an international group of veterinarians, researchers and equestrians focusing on movement asymmetries in horses and the complexities of the horse-rider interaction. We are particularly interested in understanding laterality in horse and rider, with the mission statement:
“To gain deeper understanding of laterality in equestrian activities in an effort to better differentiate physiological from pathological asymmetry in horse and rider, with the goals of preventing injury, enhancing training methods and improving veterinary care.”
As an attendee of ICEL9, we would like to invite you to a Round Table Discussion preceding the ICEL9 conference in Utrecht, Netherlands on August 29, 2023 organized by the International Task Force on Laterality in Sport Horses. The goal of this pre-conference meeting is to stimulate in-person dialogue on laterality in horses and to formulate research ideas and clinical questions relating to this topic. We would value your input and look forward to welcoming you there. Please contact us for further details and notify us by email of your attendance.
Date: August 29, 2023
Time: 13.00 – 16.00h
