About
Us
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 annual general meeting is held in May.
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 /
December at a different racecourse
each year. |
