Equestrian Vet of the Year Award 2008

Horse owners and riders are being asked to nominate their local equine vet for a new 'Equine Vet of the Year' award. Run by the pet insurer Petplan Equine, (Allianz), a short list will be drawn up from the nominations, and an independent panel will judge the winner.

The winner will be announced at the Animal Health Trust Equestrian Awards, (AHT) in London on 06 November 2008. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the AHT Equestrian Awards, which recognise the outstanding achievements made by horses, riders, owners and trainers throughout the equestrian world.

Jo Whitaker, Petplan Equine said:

"It has been a privilege to be involved with the AHT Awards over the years and we look forward to this exciting 20th anniversary year. This new award will recognise the commitment and hard work of people within the equine veterinary profession and the service they provide to horse owners."
