Iconic event names its charity of the year
Olympia
Show director Simon Brooks-Ward, said he is "delighted" to be supporting World Horse Welfare.

World Horse Welfare "honoured" to be chosen

Leading equine charity World Horse Welfare has been named 'charity of the year' for Olympia, The London International Horse Show 2015.

Chief executive Roly Owers said the charity is "deeply honoured and so grateful" to be chosen as the key beneficiary of the iconic show.

"This provides us with a wonderful international platform to raise awareness of our work, a showcase to demonstrate the amazing activities our rehomed horses and ponies are capable of and an opportunity to highlight how people can get involved with us, including through our reinvigorated adoption scheme."

Show director Simon Brooks-Ward, said he is "delighted" to be supporting World Horse Welfare.

"The charity plays a vital role in not only safeguarding vulnerable horses, ponies and donkeys, but also in campaigning to help create lasting change," he added.

"World Horse Welfare has the largest rehoming scheme of its kind in the UK and I am very much looking forward to seeing some of their success stories in Olympia’s Grand Hall this December – I’m sure it will be a spectacle to remember!"

Visitors to the charity's trade stand will be able to meet some famous equestrian personalities and take a selfie in the winter point-themed photo zone.

The show runs from 15-21 December at the Olympia Exhibition Halls in Hammersmith, playing host to more than 90,000 visitors.

New form for online veterinary medicines retailers

The Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD) has produced a new online form for retailers wishing to sell veterinary medicines on the internet.

The form replace the previous Word version and is part of the VMD's ongoing commitment to digitise its processes. Anyone retailing prescription medicines online, including POM-V, POM-VPS and NFA-VPS categories, is lawfully required to register with the VMD before trading.

The change only applies to new applicants. Retailers already listed on the VMD's Register of Online Retailers or registered under the Accredited Internet Retailer Scheme (AIRS) do not need to do anything.
