Agneta qualified as a veterinarian from the Swedish Agricultural University in Uppsala, Sweden in 1986. After various positions in the field, in mixed practice with focus on large animals, and in small animal hospitals she returned to Uppsala to work as a clinician in 1990. There she engaged in various research activities and in 1994 she started on a position as graduate student in veterinary epidemiology in 1999 finishing the thesis on describing disease patterns in the dog population. She was appointed professor in 2011, which she holds to this date. She has published on numerous subjects, mostly in horses, dogs, cats and cows, from using registries to determine longevity and parameters of numerous health issues, to studies on Anaplasma and Borrelia, and biomechanics in horses, including studies on equestrian surfaces, the seat and sidedness. Agneta devotes specific interest to rein tension studies in riding and recently harness trotting horses, and to combine biomechanics and ethology in rider-horse interaction studies. A specific interest concerns rein tension pattern across the stride of the horse, but also has a recent interest in the pricing of veterinary care in Europe.
