The Home of Rest for Horses has awarded
clinical scholarships in equine studies to scholars at five
different research institutions. A total of £400,000 has been
committed to fund their three-year programmes of studies, which
start in January 2007.The recipient scholars will be based at The Royal Veterinary College, the University of Liverpool, Bristol Veterinary School, The University of Edinburgh and a two-centre project at Bell Equine Veterinary Clinic and Glasgow Veterinary School.
Projects covered by the scholarship include: obesity in horses and its effect on equine welfare, mortality of fat horses after colic surgery, equine dental disease, disorders of the equine head and diverse equine clinical studies involving a range of evidence-based medicine.
Professor Josh Slater, European Specialist in Equine Medicine and Professor of Equine Clinical Studies at the Royal Veterinary College said: "We are delighted that the Home is making its biggest-ever investment in clinical training scholars and equine welfare. These scholarships will provide advanced clinical and research training to a group of talented young veterinarians who will become the next generation of equine specialists and who will make life-long contributions to equine welfare through clinical work, education and research."
