Past Monthly Meetings (2021)
Wednesday 7th July, What is the vet or physio looking for when trotting up a horse and lunging?
Amber Whitmarsh, Abbey Equine Clinic, and Amy Williams, Top Flight Physio, discussed what they are looking for when trotting a horse up (assessment phase) and possible treatments along with likely outcomes.
Wednesday 2nd June, Long reining and lunging over jumps demonstration
Sarah Spencer-Williams gave us a really informative session using two lovely horses. The weather was kind and it was lovely to meet up with so many members again.
Tuesday 4th May, Adversity should be utilised as a source of strength.
Jonty Evans gave us a truly inspiring account of his life and, in particular, how he is recovering from a serious head injury. His close relationship with Art shone through the whole session.
Wednesday 14th April, Setting the Equine SatNav
Gaye Nicholas stepped in at short notice and gave us a session on getting back into the saddle after lockdown and how to motivate ourselves and set realistic goals. She covered really practical steps that we can all take to get us out riding again - in whatever sphere we want from hacking to competing.
Wednesday 3rd March, Webinar: Fit or Fat? How to Condition score your horse and what to do when you need to manage weight.
Dr Tamzin Furtado and Dr Dee Pollard talked about the risks of obesity in horses and then looked in depth at how to condition score horses, using some of our member's horses as examples, and then covered practical ways of managing weight to suit the owner's situation.
Wednesday 13th January, Webinar: Preserving our bridleways - the BHS 2026 Project
BHS Project Officer Will Steel presented an interesting talk on public rights of way, the Definitive Map and how to research lost or unregistered bridleways in order to register them on this map before 2026 . The BHS have a wonderful tool called Dobbin which allows access to many historical maps and makes putting in an application much easier. www.bhs.org.uk/2026
