Bridging Technology and Real-World Coaching Practice
📆 When:15 July 2026 | 8:00 PM (CET)

Join leading equestrian coaches, educators and innovators to explore key questions that can help early-career professionals build a strong foundation for guiding riders, supporting horses, and developing their own professional identity.

Why attend this webinar

Experts will explore how coaches can create consistent development in everyday training, while responding to changing expectations around horse welfare, personal development, and the responsible use of digital support.

This webinar will showcase how elite coaches and practitioners use data and digital tools to improve performance, support horse welfare, and drive long-term progress.

With several important themes proposed for discussion, the webinar will focus on the areas most relevant to participants. During registration, each participant will be invited to vote for up to three themes, helping shape the final focus of the session.

Webinar agenda

1. How do riders actually learn, cognitively, emotionally, and physically, and what do coaches most often misunderstand about that process?
2. What role does structured reflection play in shaping long-term performance, and how can coaches make reflection meaningful rather than just another task?
3. When coaching children and young riders, what are the most effective ways to build learning habits that last into adulthood?
4. How can emerging tools, including Al, enhance the coach-rider partnership without replacing the human expertise, intuition, and empathy at its core?
5. What does “modern coaching practice” look like in real terms, and how can coaches adapt without feeling overwhelmed by new expectations, technologies, or welfare standards?
6. How can the equestrian industry better support coaches, especially those working with children and young riders, to create safe, inclusive, welfare-led learning environments?
