There truly do seem to be so many educational setups / symposiums for the equine science industry. I loved doing my equine science degree. What takes your fancy? Horse nutrition or maybe anatomy. Or is it a physiological focus on reproduction, growth or one of the horse’s various systems? Is your passion exercise physiology or maybe equine behaviour? All of these fall under horse science topics. And so I guess it is no surprise that there is an Australasian Equine Science Society.
As it states on their website:
“Our biennial symposium provides undergraduate, postgraduate students and postdoctoral researchers with the opportunity to present their projects in a supportive group of equine science enthusiasts, showcasing the diversity of Australasian equine research.”

Whether you’re based in New Zealand or Australia, the symposium sounds like a great setup. With people from various universities across these two countries, every other year there is the chance for researchers to share their findings. Apparently, international participants that have attended previous symposia have travelled from Europe and North America to attend.
Where you can meet together with other equine science enthusiasts can be a great environment for further research project ideas. Here you can share emerging fields and discoveries and of course, network. Whether your industry is racing, breeding, performance, training, instructing, nutrition or another field, I have no doubt that equine science research can benefit the work you do.
Professor Wayne Bryden has established this symposium. His aim is to help distribute the information and research that is developed by so many individuals that are involved in the exciting field of equine research. Interested in this field? Be sure to keep this symposium in mind.
