📢Calling all Equine Vets.... 🐴 Are you heading to BEVA Congress? Come and see us today and tomorrow at Stand B22!🐴

The Leahurst Equine Hospital are inviting equine vets and nurses to take part in the **Heads Up Challenge**:

🥊Can you out-punch a horse’s kick?

Test your strength on our arcade punch machine and see where you land on the leaderboard. A prize will be awarded to the highest scorer each day at 5pm, kindly donated by Future Safety and UVEX.

🎥 What makes you strap on a helmet?

They'll also be recording short, honest conversations about why equine professionals choose to wear protective headwear—from personal experiences and close calls to setting a positive example for colleagues.

While you’re there, pick up a copy of the **Liverpool and BEVA *Head Safety in Equine Practice: A Guide to Selecting Protective Headwear***. Working with horses can be unpredictable, but choosing suitable protective equipment shouldn’t be.

📍 Find us at Stand B22

The Veterinary Postgraduate team will also be there to dive into all things postgraduate study and continuing professional development! Come see us for a chat.
