A full day of talks, case studies, and discussions focused on medical response, rider welfare, and safety in equestrian sport. Our Conference is not restricted to the MEA members; however, members get a discounted rate.

The day will end with the Equestrian Sport Panel with several equestrian body heads who will be able to provide updates and take questions from those attending.

The Annual MEA Dinner is in the evening at the hotel – as a celebration of the 40th Anniversary, the council have reduced the ticket price to £50 per head. The dinner is not exclusive to attendees of the conference. Partners are more than welcome.
