London International Horse Show CPD events announced
Each day will provide six hours of CPD.

BEVA will be running two days of seminars.

The British Equine Veterinary Association (BEVA) will run a new two-day CPD programme at ExCel, London, this December to coincide with the first two full days of the London International Horse Show.

The first day of the programme, to be held on Thursday, 14 December, will look at approaches to understanding and managing complex cases of unsoundness.

The following day will focus on championing soundness and will consider how veterinary practices can apply the expertise of professionals working in elite equestrian sport.

Speakers will include: Liz Brown, who was veterinary lead for the London 2012 Olympics and the subsequent Rio Olympics; Ben Benson, a Master Farrier who was lead farrier at two Olympic Games; and Master Sadler Mark Fisher, who works on British Equestrian's World Class Programme.

David Mountford, BEVA chief executive, said: “We were approached by the organisers of London International Horse Show with the opportunity to run a seminar during the event and we jumped at the chance.

“The show hosts the UK’s most important equestrian competitions in show jumping, dressage and driving and I am sure there will be a strong demand for places on the programme in such an exciting environment. It’s hard to think of a better venue for our veterinary community to get together during the Christmas period.”

Simon Brooks-Ward, event director at the London International Horse Show, said: “I am delighted that BEVA will be running this two-day programme during the Show.

“ExCeL gives us the opportunity to grow the show and offer opportunities to all facets of the equestrian community. Our aim is to bring everyone together at Christmas and this is an important step in achieving our goal.”

Full details of both the first day and the second day of the programme can be found on the BEVA website.

Bluetongue low vector period ends

In an update to its bluetongue guidance, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has announced that the seasonal low vector period for the disease has ended.

With winter over, Defra is planning for a possible increase in cases as midges become more active. It has warned that farms along the east coast of England from Norfolk to Kent, and along the south coast from Kent to Devon, are at highest risk from infected midges blown over from northern Europe.

Since the virus was detected in England in November 2023, there have been 126 confirmed cases. The most recent case to be confirmed was on 1 March 2024.

Farmers are asked to continue to frequently monitor their livestock and ensure their animals and land are registered with the Animal and Plant Health Agency.
