Research online
The World Undergraduate Equine Research Database is a simple and easy way of gaining information on past dissertations by equine students. It is accessible on the Internet and is maintained by the Weatherbys Group.
Information is summarised and can be searched by using keywords, categories or establishments. Browsing is free, although there may be charges from the relevant institutions for shipment and supply of the research.
Visit www.wuerd.org for more information or to look at past research.
