The countdown is on for the BSAS Equine Conference 2025, taking place 21–22 November 2025, and the call for abstracts is still open – but submissions are urgently needed.
Researchers, academics, practitioners and para-professionals working across all areas of equine science are invited to submit their work. Topics include (but are not limited to):
- Equine behaviour and welfare
- Health and disease
- Nutrition and feeding
- Reproduction and genetics
- Horse and rider performance
The submission deadline is 30 September 2025, and abstracts must be original and not under review elsewhere. Full submission guidelines and the EasyChair portal can be accessed here: [Submit Your Abstract]
This year’s two-day programme combines high-level scientific sessions with a practitioner-focused format. Day 1 will showcase cutting-edge research, while Day 2 offers interactive sessions tailored to those working directly with horses. Keynote speakers will open each themed session, and accepted abstracts will be presented throughout, giving researchers valuable exposure and the chance to share new knowledge with the wider equine community.
The organising committee includes several leading Animalweb experts – Dr Helen Warren, Dr Kirsty Lesniak, Dr Victoria Lindsay-McGee, Dr Lorna Cameron, and Dr David Marlin, ensuring the event continues to reflect both academic rigour and real-world equestrian practice.
They need your abstracts – and your support spreading the word! Please encourage colleagues and peers to submit their work and register to attend. Let’s make sure this year’s conference is full, vibrant and packed with the latest equine science.
