Vets with Horsepower and Dr Artur Niedzwiedz and Dr Milosz Grabski present:

Equine vet talks for horse owners in Poznan, Poland
24th June 2026

On the 24th of June 2026 the Vets with Horsepower will stop in Poznan to deliver high-quality equine lectures for horse owners in Poland.
​The aim is to raise funds for several fabulous charity projects in need;

• Unbroken Kids (a charity with a hospital in Ukraine helping children heal physically and mentally)
• Ukrainian vets and horses (horses cannot graze amongst the landmines, and with many experienced vets fighting on the frontlines the veterinary care is maintained by vets with limited equine experience, or students)
• Saving the Survivors (caring for African poaching victims and helping to stop further poaching)
• the Gambia Horse and Donkey trust (veterinary care and education for those working equids and their owners that need it desperately)
• Changing Lives Malawi (improve opportunities for children)

Come and join us to follow some interesting lectures and help us raise money for the charities!
