In the last 20 years, over £11m has been invested to maintain a pool of highly skilled equine veterinary researchers and clinicians.
The recipients of HBLB education awards have included a number of full professors and senior lecturers in veterinary schools, many senior posts in industry and government and numerous clinical veterinary surgeons in both university and private practice.
