Marie Eisersiö

My two big passions in life are horses and learning new things, which makes this Doctoral education, in a project involving horses, an absolute dream job. Equine welfare is very important to me and I hope that my research will contribute to an increased knowledge about how the rein and bit should be used to safeguard equine welfare and human safety during horseback riding.
