Gemma Penhorwood

I have worked on collaborative research with UCLAN assessing and measuring (dis)abled riders to amend the sport classification system used by the FEI during the paralympics. 

I have interests in animal behaviour and welfare, particularly horses and the impact of human interaction with them, as well as previous work as an undergraduate in conservation genetics and haplotyping. 

I lead 5 modules:

• L3 Foundation Biological Principles (105 students)
• L4 Animal Genetics (142 students)
• L4 Managing Equine Wellbeing (12 students)
• L5 Professional Practice Portfolio (20 students)
• L5 Professional Practice Project (7 students)

I am on the teaching team on the following:

• L4 Livestock Science and Husbandry
• L4 Skills Development for Ag
• L5 Animals in Education

I have/will give guest lectures in:

• L5 Managing Animal Wellbeing
• L4 Equine Genetics

I have also helped run a field trip for L6 Wildlife Conservation in Captivity.
