14th Alltech-Hartpury Equine Student Conference

This annual conference is aimed at Higher Education students, providing an opportunity to experience writing and submitting an abstract, going through the review and revisions process, through to delivering a theatre presentation to a full conference audience or producing a scientific poster to present.   

Once again, we are excited to invite delegates to attend, in person, at the beautiful Hartpury University Campus, Gloucestershire, UK.     

Conferences can be an exciting but also a daunting experience regardless of whether you are attending as a viewing delegate or presenting your work to a wider audience. The Alltech-Hartpury Student Conference allows students to present primarily to other students. Student and staff delegates representing colleges and universities from the UK, deliver oral and poster presentations covering a vast range of topics. In addition, we are lucky to host a range of keynote speakers from both scientific and industry backgrounds to offer their experience, and guidance.    

The 14th Alltech-Hartpury Conference especially encourages submissions in the following areas:   

• Equine behaviour and welfare   

• Equine business management  

• Breeding, genetics and stud management   

• Equine health and therapy   

• Equine nutrition and feeding   

• Rider performance   

• Equine performance  

• Social Licence to Operate in the equine industry   

However, all topics of interest to equestrian science and the equine industry will be considered.   

Prizes provided by Alltech, our long-standing sponsor, are awarded for the best oral and poster presentations. Abstracts are welcomed from students on any higher education programme, so long as their research relates to the above criteria.    

Abstract submission for the 2025 Conference will open in January 2025 

Tickets will be available to purchase from January via our online shop. Group discounts will be available on purchases of 9 or more tickets.
