“There is always a way to do it better. Seek it.”

Learn from esteemed speakers hailing from diverse and distinguished countries, offering valuable insights and perspectives.

The International Conference of Equestrianism" is a platform for all horse people to get in touch with the leading professionals and to improve their horsemanship skills. It is a 3 day event with 18 sessions. The sessions were planned with one basic thought in mind: “How can we get rid of unnecessary problems and create happy environments with happy horses, happy riders and happy trainers?”

Now that requires a certain amount of knowledge and experience. Hence the creme de la creme of speakers.

At “The International Conference of Equestrianism - Dubai - Volume 1” all lessons have a “Preventative Approach”. We have made it our goal to teach every horse lover the science, data and theory behind many vague topics. Come and join Mr. Micklem, the creator of the Micklem Bridal himself and listen to what he has to say about bridals. Let’s hear Dr. Heiko Koch from Sprenger speak about bits so you know what your horse needs and what would be an immense mistake! Are you absolutely sure you are feeding your horse everything s/he needs and are not feeding him/her unhealthy sugar? When you are talking to a professional are you able to hold a proper conversation or are you just acknowledging everything everyone says?

Come and acquire knowledge so you can hold a proper conversation, differentiate the right from the wrong and say “No!” in time rather than saying “I didn’t know!” when it’s too late .

Come so you learn how you can give your horse a better life.
