John Osborne, Equine Welfare and Bloodstock Director at Horse Racing Ireland, said, “Our first symposium will be an interactive conversation on safety and care. We are looking forward to hearing from our eminent speakers, pointing to so much exciting change in the way we care for our horses. Of equal importance is hearing the thoughts and opinions of our attendees.”
