Putting Knowledge into Action

Every day seems to bring new information from scientists about what horses need and want in order to live good lives. But how do we know which ‘evidence’ to trust? And, once we have decided that, how do we translate it into what we do on the ground? Roly will discuss these questions with reference to work being carried out at World Horse Welfare and beyond.

Join HHRF and Dr. Roly Owers on Wednesday, November 12, 2025 at Noon (ET) as he tackles some of the more problematic issues that may underline the translation of research into practice to make sure we are giving our horses a good life.
