I am a Lecturer in Equine Science at Massey University, New Zealand. My teaching and research span equine science, biomechanics, exercise physiology, behaviour, health and welfare, epidemiology, and sport science. With a background in engineering and over 20 years of practical experience working with horses and riders internationally, my research focuses on improving equine and rider health, welfare, and performance. A central theme of my work is injury prevention from both the horse and rider perspectives.
