Look who joined us on our stand today at BEVA - The British Equine Veterinary Association Congress at the ICC in Birmingham. Our Veterinary advisor Dr Jane Nixon MA Vet, Russell Mackechnie -Guire Centaur Biomechanics and Cobi Baillie from Hartpury University. Catherine Baker CB Saddlery and Charlotte Fountain hosting.

We are also conducting a survey to learn more about veterinary professionals’ views on saddlery fitting. We are asking:

• To what extent do vets believe saddlery fitting influences equine welfare and performance?
• Could working with Qualified Saddle, Bridle and Bit Fitters compliment their practice?
• Were they aware of the Society and the training we provide before today?
• Would they be interested in future training relating to saddle, bridle and bit fit?

The feedback will help us better understand current awareness and consider how the Society can support veterinary professionals through relevant education and collaborative working.

If you are attending BEVA Congress, please come and see us!
