British Eventing: new research

 

We are working with Equine Researchers and Catapult Sports Technology to deliver a research project to investigate whether there is an association between riding speed cross-country, performance, and faults/falls. The project was formalised in early April this year and is now in a position to commence with its data collection.

British Eventing Chief Execuive Rosie Williams “This is an important piece of research and will help us make the sport safer for all. The project will provide invaluable, objective data that will help our decision making going forward. Thank you to Catapult for supporting our work and to Dr David Marlin, of AnimalWeb Ltd and Dr Heather Cameron-Whytock of the University of Central Lancashire School of Veterinary Medicine for conceptualising and leading the research.”

Over the current season, we will be asking riders to volunteer to wear Catapult sensors during their cross-country rounds at competition, so please help us in supporting this important work.

The first data collection is planned for Tweseldown on the 6th and 7th July; if you are competing at Tweseldown on either of these days and are interested in taking part in the study you can register your interest using the link below and further information will be sent to you. Alternatively, you can speak to the research team (located in the lorry park) on the day of the event and sign up then.
