Four individuals who have made significant contributions to equine health and welfare were presented with some of the industry’s most important awards at British Equine Veterinary Association (BEVA) Congress on Sept. 8.

The awards were established by BEVA, in conjunction with various sponsors, to reflect BEVA’s recognition of and support for significant accomplishments by equine veterinarians and others involved in horse health and welfare.

The BEVA Equine Welfare Award, sponsored by Blue Cross, was presented to Roly Owers, veterinary surgeon and chief executive of World Horse Welfare. As chief executive of the charity since 2008, Owers has driven forward many major initiatives for the horse industry, most having a direct impact on animal welfare and disease prevention or control. He has used his position to develop programmes across the Equine Sector and has provided much needed dispassionate and effective leadership.

His key achievements include the establishment of the Horse Crisis group of charities; a successful campaign for the Control of Horses Act; the production of guidelines for transporters, including feed and watering stops and total travel time allowances; and a successful refinement of the Tripartite Agreement, which controls the movement of horses between Ireland, the U.K., and France
