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.

Germany livestock import ban lifted

The UK government has amended its ban on the import of livestock, meat and dairy products from Germany.

Defra said the decision follows 'rigorous technical assessment' of the measures applied and the current situation. "If the situation changes, we will not hesitate to take necessary action in response to the FMD outbreaks in the European Union to protect our domestic biosecurity," it said.

The ban was implemented in January following an outbreak of foot and mouth disease (FMD) near Berlin. Personal imports of meat, milk and dairy products will remain in place at a country level.
