The Equine Edge
Meet the speakers
Meet the experts shaping the future of equine health.
Discover the leading veterinarians, researchers and equine professionals bringing their knowledge, experience and fresh perspectives to The Equine Edge.
Dr. Prof. Marie Rhodin DVM, Dipl. ACVSMR
Marie Rhodin is one of the world's most cited authorities on objective gait analysis in horses. Her research showed that movement asymmetry is common, even in horses considered healthy, leading the field to focus on sensor-based diagnostics. She now combines veterinary medicine with AI/gait sensor technology.
Yogi Sharp DipWCF, BSc(Hons), PGCert
Farrier and PhD candidate in Farriery Science, he brings university research to farriers, vets, and owners. He's known internationally for evidence-based work on hoof morphology, biomechanics, and the hoof-posture connection. Yogi is regularly teaching on the international clinic circuit.
Dr. Chris Pearce
A pioneering specialist in equine dentistry, Dr Chris Pearce's work reveals how the TMJ and hyoid apparatus shape the horse's entire biomechanical chain, linking jaw mobility to poll flexion, topline engagement and hindquarter power. At The Equine Edge, Chris takes us from hoof to poll, showing how dental health underpins performance and welfare.
Dr Adeline Tischmacher
DVM, DESV, ECVSMR
Dr. Adeline Tischmacher is an equine sports medicine and orthopaedics specialist with a strong focus on locomotion, diagnostic imaging and rehabilitation. She combines clinical expertise with objective gait analysis, using data to complement clinical examination, track changes over time and support a deeper understanding of equine locomotor problems.
Inge Vandesende
Inge is a highly respected trainer specializing in horse rehabilitation & redevelopment. With a background in physical education, she brings a deep understanding of movement, rhythm, and body awareness. Having trained horses to the highest international level in both dressage and jumping, she combines versatility with extensive expertise in equine performance and development.
Matthias Agneessens, ERMT, ECST, CST, Biomechanicus
Matthias is an expert in equine and human biomechanics. With over 20 years of experience in the international equestrian sport industry, his work focuses on treating physical imbalances to improve performance and prevent injuries for both the horse and the rider — for pain- or injury-free riding.
