Samenvatting

Recently a lot of research has been conducted on subjects concerning the training of the horse, animal welfare and on training methods themselves. However, the implementation of science into practise has not been sufficient. This paradox: the abundancy of information but lack of implementation into practice. This has also been noticed in other sports. The implementation of scientific knowledge in training and education will improve animal health and welfare. This research aims to come to possible solutions to improve the reception of Equitation Science by determining how information is, or can be, transferred in a way that reaches and is accepted by all (or most) equine sports practitioners.
