Our team is made out of veterinarians, agronomists, researchers and technicians - all specialised in the equestrian sector. Several companies or actors of the sector rely on their skills to develop their products and have them approved, but also to carry out studies or expert missions.
EUNetHorse project
EUNetHorse is a European thematic network funded by the European Commission, which aim to enhance the exchange of knowledge and best practice between 9 European countries (France, Portugal, Spain, Belgium, Germany, Romania, Poland, Finland and Switzerland)
The global aim of EUNetHorse is to increase the resilience and performance of the equine farms to face environmental, social, health, economic or political crises by widely disseminating practices, tools and solutions that improve (1) their resilience and socio-economic performance, (2) animal welfare and health on farms, and (3) the environmental sustainability of the sector.
Mont-le-Soie is the coordinator of this project in Belgium and responsible for several tasks throughout its implementation. The project started in the spring of 2023 and is spread over 4 years.
The technical data sheets for the solutions that have been identified, assessed and selected for dissemination will be gradually added to this page (see below), as well as to EU Farm Book.
