The Animal Health Trust (AHT) has announced that Feedmark has chosen the Suffolk-based veterinary and scientific research charity as its chosen charity for the next three years. Feedmark will support the work of the AHT through various activities including charitable donations and taking the lead sponsorship at the AHT UK Equestrian Awards.
The equestrian awards is an annual fundraising event which celebrates equestrian excellence and marks the achievements of riders, owners, trainers and horses from all areas of equestrian life.
Since starting in the late 1980s the event has grown in size and stature into one of the major highlights of the equestrian calendar; attracting high-profile equestrian guests such as Nick Skelton, Piggy French and Tina Cook. The fundraiser aims to increase awareness and donations for the AHT which works extensively to help keep horses fit and healthy, and most importantly, protected from disease and injury.
Kevin Clements, Director of Fundraising & Marketing of the Animal Health Trust, said:
We’re really excited to have the long-term support of Feedmark, a company with over 40 years of excellence in equine nutrition”.
Chris Townsend, Managing Director of Feedmark, said:
Feedmark prides itself on providing high quality products that benefit all horses, so to be able to support a charity like the Animal Health Trust and be lead sponsor of the UK Equestrian Awards which recognises the very best in the world of equestrianism is hugely exciting for us”.
The Animal Health Trust (AHT) is an independent charity, employing over 200 scientists, vets and support workers. It aims to improve the health and welfare of horses, dogs and cats through research. It also provides specialist referral services and continuous education to vets.
