Horses’ and riders’ health is in the spotlight
Red thread of the 2022 edition:
Equine Well-Being
Thanks to fun activities in Equita Longines’s Health Area, every day we learn even more about the health of horses and riders.
Riders, owners, grooms, breeders, trainers… or those of you who are curious, come to discover the various workshops run by equine and human health professionals.
Listen to the heart of a pony, discover the behaviour of the foal and his dam or try out the simulator to improve your riding position!
Located in the heart of the exhibition, this welcome and information area has been created on the initiative of Equita, Boehringer Ingelheim, the Equine Centre of the VetAgro Sup Veterinary Campus in Lyon, the Champ du Perier Equine Clinic and Jean Marc Gentil.
