“Sports horses are central to the day-to-day work of both primary and referral practices. Advanced imaging has increased knowledge of causes of lameness, and close teamwork with other equine healthcare professionals is essential,” said Congress Committee Chair Jonathon Dixon. “These sport horse sessions should inform and inspire delegates with knowledge shared by foremost experts from around the world.”
Haydn Price (UK World Class Team Farrier), Pat Reilly (Chief of Farrier Services, New Bolton Center, The School of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania) and Dr Sue Dyson will discuss aspects of disease of the podotrochlear apparatus and shoeing implications for sports and leisure horses.
Ellen Singer (Senior lecturer in equine orthopedics at the Philip Leverhulme Equine Hospital, University of Liverpool) will look at surgical vs conservative management of trauma to the sagittal groove of the proximal phalanx.
Russell Guire (Centaur Biomechanics) will give a presentation on the role of the biomechanics assessment of horse and rider.
Rachel Murray (Senior orthopedic advisor at the Animal Health Trust) will look at the British Equestrian Team's approach to keeping the sports horse on the road.
The BEVA Congress is Europe’s largest equine veterinary conference; it will be held at the International Convention Centre (ICC) in Birmingham, England and will bring together more than 1200 equine veterinarians and nurses, internationally-lauded speakers and 100+ exhibitors for three days of knowledge-sharing, networking, workshops, demonstrations and practical sessions. It presents the opportunity for British professionals to acquire more than 90 hours of premium quality continuing professional development (CPD) credit.
This year’s plenary lecture will be given by Dr Sue Stover, Distinguished Professor and Director of the JD Wheat Veterinary Orthopedic Research Laboratory at the University of California at Davis. Other program highlights include Valeria Busoni, Myra Barrett, Mads Kristoffersen, Martin Waselau and Dean Richardson contributing to a session on advancing diagnostics in stifle lameness and Andrew van Eps discussing the latest on the management of laminitis.
The "Moral Maze" will pose the question "is telemedicine is a friend or foe?" while a debate panel will delve further into the trials and tribulations involving Brexit and the wider global profession.
This year Congress has the added prestige of being selected to host the Federation of European Equine Veterinary Associations (FEEVA) General Assembly. FEEVA is an inter-European organization working on all matters related to horse health and welfare throughout Europe and to discuss matters and threats concerning equine veterinary work globally.
