BEVA Council was honoured to have Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal, Patron of BEVA formally opening Congress on Thursday 13 September. HRH also presented BEVA’s Annual Awards.
Her Royal Highness has been Patron of BEVA since 2003. The position was previously held by HRH’s Grandmother, The Queen Mother. The Princess Royal’s enthusiastic interest in horses has led to her close involvement with many equine and veterinary charitable organisations.
Her Royal Highness gave a short address following the plenary lecture and then presented BEVA’s Annual Awards some of the profession’s most outstanding contributors to equine veterinary science, health and welfare.
David Mountford, Chief Executive of BEVA said: “We feel highly privileged that our esteemed Patron chose to attend BEVA Congress this year, despite her busy schedule. Our Award winners were particularly delighted with the bonus of receiving their Awards from Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal.”
