WHAT IS Vets with Horsepower?

The perfect mix of charity and veterinary education

​A group of well-established equine vets and lecturers found they have common ground;
  • They believe the world can be made a better place for everyone, one step at a time. 
  • They all have a very well-regarded skill set as equine vets and lecturers.
  • They have 'a thing' for motorbikes.
These principles have blended into 'Vets with Horsepower, a UK registered charity. The group comes together to provide CPD lectures to other equine vets, raising funds for charity by doing so, and using their motorbikes to get them around - many miles to ride each day! The plan is frankly a little mad but has worked so well over the years....
