Today in horse history--and EAS history, too: Denmark's Lis Hartel was the first woman to win an Olympic equestrian medal (dressage) in 1952's Helsinki Games. And,she did it as a polio survivor unable to use her lower legs, plus incomplete use of hands, arms. Let's celebrate her!

📰 Featured in the Racing Post

Earlier this week the British Racing School offered pony riding experiences for autistic children in a collaboration between Racing Foundation-funded @autisminracing and the Newmarket Pony Academy.

Founded in 2021, Autism In Racing was created to promote awareness and inclusivity within the racing industry for those diagnosed with autism. Since its creation the organisation has overseen a number of initiatives, such as the installation of permanent sensory rooms at Aintree, Cheltenham and Ascot, designed to provide a calm, quiet and safe environment in which to fully enjoy a day at the races.

For decades, EAS research focused on *what* horses could do for people and their problems or disabilities...slowly, we have seen an increase in studies on the "how", to optimize the outcomes and benefit the horses. We're tracking stats on this trend in EAS *horse* research.

Important info you can use: Did you know that every issue of the EAS Research Report lists abstract submission details for upcoming conferences? Here's an example of one event listed in the new EASR coming out this week, the 2025 PATH Intl. conference:
