So I got sent this link through uni and thought, ‘If only I had the money!’ Sounds like a great learning opportunity!
In Kings Canyon, the Northern Territory, Australia, this six day conference (June 21 – 26) is “the perfect opportunity to mix science with travel, experience the Australian Outback and Aboriginal culture in one of the world’s best tourist destinations.”
Equine scientists from around the world will be there to discuss wild horses. The countries/areas represented are:
- Australia
- New Zealand
- America
- Europe
- Africa
Places are limited with 50 on offer, the first paid being the ones who will secure these places. Areas covered include the wild horse’s foot, ecology of feral horses in the Australian central desert, mustang behaviour and GPS tracking, Przewalski horses, photograph presentation of wild horses, desert horse GPS tracking, Konic horses and Kaimanawa horses of New Zealand.
As well as daily evening seminars, there will be observation of feral horses and camels during the day and an activity at the waterhole at night. Throw in a half hour helicopter ride, a 2.5 hour quad motorbike safari and you still haven’t covered it all! Handling and quietening of brumbies will occur over a four day period as well as a camel sunset ride and guided tours around the area.
The cost is $1700 AUD per person. This includes the conference, associated activities and accommodation as well as breakfast and dinner. Further details as well as the daily program can be found at http://www.wildhorseresearch.com/.
