About The ARVS
The Association of Racecourse Veterinary Surgeons (ARVS) was formed at the inaugural annual general meeting on the 25th of May 1993 at Leicester Racecourse. The Association aims to promote and safeguard the safety and welfare of horses at race meetings and to provide a forum for discussion and the exchange of ideas on the management of injury and disease on racecourses. The AGM is held in May/June and incorporates the Summer Scientific Meeting. Casualty Management Seminars are held in November/December each year.
In 1995, the Jockey Club made it mandatory for racecourse vets to obtain training in casualty management and since then the ARVS has established and run the only Casualty Management Seminars recognised by the Jockey Club / Horse Racing Authority. Casualty Management Seminars are held in November at a different racecourse each year.
Within this site, you will find news, details of our events, useful information and advice, as well as valuable file downloads, details of the current Committee members and all the contact details you need to get in touch with us at the ARVS.
Also, for the first time, there is a direct link to Official ARVS Merchandise, that you can purchase directly, online. This will enable us to deal with your requirements far more efficiently than ever before.
