What is The Healthy Horse Conference?
It's a learning experience like no other ....
This is a Conference for individuals who want to make a difference and change the world for horses.
It is a hybrid Conference, with one day in person, and one day online, where hundreds of equine professionals get together to discover new ways to help more horses. If you can't get to the UK no problem you can also join BOTH days online.
You'll learn from some of the best veterinary expert in the world, and listen to world class speakers, and leave the Conference equipped and ready to change the lives of more horses.
Now in its fourth run the Healthy Horse Conference will be bigger and better than ever before. Our theme for this year is Empowerment. Let's work together to help more horses.
Empowerment is the theme for 2025
It's all about empowering you help more horses...
As an equine professional you have the power to make change in the industry. You don't need us to tell you that the industry is having a bit of a rough time at the moment.
Here at NKC we believe that now is the time to pull together, rise up and make a better world for horses -together.
We believe that change happens when you share the latest findings and research in a way that horse owners can implement it.
That change starts with you.
Change for horses - how to address weight loss with owners and what does a realistic rehab look like. We will be bringing science into real life
Change for the industry- use your voice and your position of influencer as to create change and help more horses - hear from experts, thought leaders and our equestrian influencers panel
Change using tech - how can AI help our horses?
Changes in diagnostics and lameness themes - what's new and updates from the vet world and stifle disease the new PSD?
Changes in thinking - The impact of Gut Health on performance, behaviour and happiness

What to expect from the day...
#1 World Class Content
Equine practitioners, saddlers and coaches attend the Healthy Horse Conference because of the content.
This isn't your typical CPD day. Where you hear lots of great ideas, but they don't quite translate into real life. The Conference is all about Empowering you to make change. It's where science meets real life.
There's no theory only concepts, it's all about the latest research and how it can help the horses in your care.
#2 Support After The Event
It's not just what you learn on the day that matters - it's what you do with the content, and the changes that you implement that make the difference.
Unlike conferences, congresses and other training days the buzz won't stop at the end of the day.
Instead you'll be given access to online resources PLUS a month of support (via our private Facebook group) to help you action the changes that will help you to help more horses.
The magic happens when you start implementing your learning. This isn't just a tick box training day.
#3 Networking & 'Ah-Ha' Moments
You'll be spending the Conference with other equine professionals who are just like you. Those who are ready for change, for themselves and for the industry.
This isn't your standard Conference.
Expect energy, lightbulb moments and connection.
This is the place to be for equine practitioners and professionals who see change in the equine industry.
Connections will be formed, and friendships will be made with access to long lasting support.
