Dr. Haubro Anderson is a Professor of Large Animal Surgery at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences at Uppsala. She performs experimental and clinical research in the large animal clinic, including retrospective studies on clinical efficacy, with an overall aim of development effective surgical methods documented by objective clinical methods.

Erin Contino, MS, DVM, Dipl. ACVSMR, is an Associate Professor in equine sports medicine and rehabilitation at Colorado State University (CSU) in Fort Collins, Colorado. She graduated from CSU with a Master's in clinical sciences in 2009 and a veterinary degree in 2010. She then completed a one-year internship at Pioneer Equine Hospital in California before returning to CSU for a three-year equine sports medicine and rehabilitation residency followed by a 1-year fellowship in equine musculoskeletal ultrasound. Dr. Contino became a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation in 2014. Her clinical and research interests include equine musculoskeletal imaging, diagnostic analgesia, lameness, and poor performance in equine athletes. She's actively involved in the leadership of ACVSMR and AAEP and, in her spare time, enjoys competing in 3-day eventing.

Sue Dyson qualified as a veterinarian from the University of Cambridge in 1980. After an internship at the University of Pennsylvania and a year in private equine practice in Pennsylvania, Sue returned to Great Britain to the Animal Health Trust, Newmarket. Sue ran a clinical referral service for lameness and poor performance, attracting clients from all over the United Kingdom, Ireland and continental Europe for 37 years. From 2019 she has worked as an independent consultant, combining her horsemanship skills with her veterinary experience, with the aim of maximising performance potential.

Sue’s key interests are improving the diagnosis of lameness and poor performance and maximising the opportunity for horses to fulfil their athletic potential at whatever level, taking a holistic approach to the horse, rider and tack combination, and improving approaches to diagnosis and management. She has been involved not only in providing clinical services, but also clinically relevant research and education. Sue is co-editor, with Mike Ross, of Diagnosis and Management of Lameness in the Horse and co-author of Clinical Radiology of the Horse and Equine Scintigraphy. With Sue Palmer she wrote Harmonious Horsemanship: Use of the Ridden Horse Ethogram to Optimise Potential, Partnership and Performance. She has published more than 430 papers in peer reviewed journals concerning lameness and diagnostic imaging and has lectured worldwide to veterinarians, paraprofessionals, coaches, riders and judges.

Sue is a former President of the British Equine Veterinary Association and is currently scientific advisor to the Saddle Research Trust and Moorcroft Rehabilitation Centre. Sue is also a rider, and has produced horses from novice to top national level in both eventing and show jumping. Sue holds the Instructors and Stable Managers Certificates of the British Horse Society (BHSI).

Sue has been awarded many international accolades for her work including induction into the University of Kentucky Equine Research Hall of Fame for outstanding contributions to research in equine veterinary science, Honorary Membership of the British Equine Veterinary Association and Societa Italiana Veterinari Per Equini, Italy, the American Association of Equine Practitioners Frank J. Milne Award and the Tierklinik Hochmoor Prize, Germany, for outstanding, creative and lasting work in equine veterinary medicine.

Gemma combines her time between research and outreach as Director of Equine Behaviour at The Horse Trust and running a referral clinic for clinical equine behaviour cases where she is based at the University of Edinburgh.

After working in ambulatory practice Gemma undertook a rotating residency programme in the equine hospital alongside an MScR investigating horse veterinarian interactions.

Subsequently she completed her CCAB (certified clinical animal behaviourist) exam and her PhD thesis ‘Stress in equids undergoing veterinary care and the development of interventions that positively influence the horses’ experience’. As well as continuing with her own research she supervises several students at PhD, MSc and undergraduate level. Subsequently she has been recognised as the first species specific RCVS specialist in Veterinary Behavioural Medicine (Equine).

Gemma is frequently invited to lecture internationally, as a recognised expert in this field and an excellent communicator. One of the most successful projects was filming a series of short YouTube videos with the British Equine Veterinary Association aiming to reduce injury rates when dealing with difficult horses under the ‘Don’t break your vet’ campaign.

In her spare time she has competed up to advanced level endurance on a homebred horse as well as enjoying competing in affiliated dressage and eventing. Currently she is retraining a Thoroughbred recently retired from racing.

Marie Rhodin, DVM, associate Professor in equine clinical biomechanics at the department of Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. She graduated 2003, PhD in 2008 where she studied horse and rider interaction with focus on the effect of different head and neck positions on the kinematics of the back in riding horses. Her main research focus experience in objective motion analysis for lameness detection with techniques as high-speed cameras and inertial measure units. To implement objective measurements in the lameness exams she has looked into the effect of circular movement on movement symmetry in both sound and lame horses. In 2017 she passed the board examination and was accredited as a diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation. In 2019 she also become diplomate of the European College of Veterinary Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation. Her main research focus is orthopedic diagnostics, orthopaedic pain and objective motion analysis in horses, horse-rider interaction.
