Albuquerque, NM—October 7, 2024– Equine veterinarians are the unsung heroes who dedicate their time, expertise, and compassion to the horses we love—and now, it’s time to give back. The Equine Network Foundation and A Home For Every Horse are proud to announce the inaugural $2,500 Healing Hands Award sponsored by Purina, created to honor the extraordinary veterinarians who go above and beyond, especially for rescue horses.
This award recognizes the tireless efforts of veterinarians who provide exceptional care in rescue and rehabilitation settings, offering health, hope, and a second chance to horses in need. Equine rescues across the country are invited to nominate a veterinarian who has played a critical role in their horses’ recovery and well-being.
“These veterinarians often work quietly behind the scenes, but their impact is immeasurable,” said Melissa Kitchen, President of the Equine Network Foundation. “The Healing Hands Award is our way of saying thank you for their unwavering dedication.”
Nominations for the $2,500 Healing Hands Award can be submitted until November 3, 2024. The winner will be honored at the 2025 American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) conference, taking place December 7-11, 2024, in Orlando, Florida.
