Equine
Students Bid To Win Prestigous Award |
Now
in its fourth year, the Royal Agricultural Society of England initiated
award, The Eqvalan Thesis of the Year Award is designed to reward
academic excellence within colleges offering equine degree courses.
Fifteen top institutions put forward their best equine student to
be considered.
The
award's five finalists will give a fifteen-minute presentation to
a panel of eminent equine industry judges at the British Equine
Event and undergo an in-depth question and answer session. This
year's Eqvalan thesis winner will be presented with their prize
at a private ceremony during the weekend.
This year's finalists are:
Claire Brookes, a recent BA (Hons)
equine studies graduate from Warwickshire College's Moreton Morrell
Amy Greenwood, a recent graduate
from Writtle College, Chelmsford
Emma Hedderson, a recent graduate
from Imperial College at Wye, Ashford, Kent
Jack Murphy, a student of the University
of Limerick
Lynne Uttley a student Hartpury
College in Gloucestershire
The Eqvalan final will be take place independently from the main
events at this year's twelfth British Equine Event, which itself
features a packed two-day demonstration programme. Top equestrians
such as Conrad Schumacher, Vere & Clea Phillipps and Andy Austin
will be giving informative lecture-demos on how to get the best
out of your horse. Top vets and farriers including the BBC TV's
Vet's in Practice star Sally Kingsley will also be on hand to give
advice and tips on equine health and nutrition, and with over 300
specialist trade stands, horse-mad Christmas shoppers can get totally
carried away!
David
Storrar, RASE's Director of Exhibitions comments "Delivering
