HRH will join delegates to debate spending on welfare charities

Her Royal Highness the Princess Royal will be making an appearance at this year's British Equine Veterinary Association (BEVA) Congress.

A patron of BEVA since 2003, the Princess Royal has enduring ties with the equine sector and is linked with many equine and charitable veterinary organisations.

She will join delegates in a "moral maze" style debate at the congress on September 11. The debate will explore whether money spent on welfare charities is well-spent.

David Mountford, BEVA chief executive, said: "We are privileged and flattered the Her Royal Highness has chosen to attend BEVA Congress this year, despite her busy schedule.

"We look forward to welcoming her and hope that she will enjoy participating in what is sure to be a lively debate on the role of equine charities."
