Shaping Sport Horse Conformation with Linear Scoring

Join us to learn into how linear scoring is influencing the development of the modern sport horse. This session, led by Dr Eva-Maria Livesey - Vice Chair of the World Breeding Federation of Sport Horses and Executive Director of British Breeding will explore how genotype and phenotype interact in breeding, and how structured conformation assessment is shaping future generations of sport horses.

Linear scoring can be applied to all horses, making it a valuable tool for anyone looking to improve their understanding of conformation and its impact on performance, soundness, and longevity.

Dr Livesey is known as a fascinating speaker, keen to engage with her audience, drawing on her extensive experience in international breeding, stallion gradings, and young horse evaluations.
