Dr. Peter Huntington and Clarissa Brown-Douglas, PhD will be speaking at Equine Science 2006 which will showcase recent horse related research conducted by scientists in Australia and overseas. It is the first time this meeting has been held in Australia, but it is expected to be a regular event like the Equine Science Society meeting in the US.

The meeting will be held at the Gold Coast on June 13 and 14 after the Brisbane Cup carnival and during the Magic Millions mare sales.
