Worcester Vet Wins Equine Vet of the Year
David Denny wins Equine Vet of the Year Award.
Worcester vet, David Denny, has won the annual Equine Vet of the Year Award.

The Award was announced at the glittering annual Animal Health Trust (AHT) Equestrian Awards gala dinner, held at the Lancaster London Hotel.
 
Horse owners from all over the UK nominated their vets for this coveted people’s award and over 200 nominations were received.

Desi Dillingham, Chair of the UK Equestrian Awards Committee said, “The UK Equestrian Awards is well known for celebrating excellence within equestrian disciplines. With the Petplan Equine Vet of the Year award we are able to recognise often unsung heroes who enable all of our equestrian sports to continue. With more than 40 years of experience treating and caring for horses, David Denny is certainly a worthy winner of the 2011 award.”
 
Despite the tough competition, the testimonials given by David’s clients impressed the judges enough to name him the Petplan Equine Vet of the Year 2010.
 
David has run his own general veterinary practice in Worcester for over forty years. He comes from a family of vets and was inspired to join the profession by his grandfather, great uncle and uncle. He trained at the London Veterinary College in the early 1960s and has worked in general practice ever since, spending about a quarter of his time treating horses. David prides himself on running a small personal practice.
 
The judges were particularly impressed with his years of experience in carrying out diagnoses and his commitment to always putting the welfare of the horse first. David is so committed to his job that he even treated a horse on the day of his daughter’s wedding!
 
On receiving the award, David Denny commented: "I'm completely overwhelmed and am very grateful to the clients who nominated me. I would like to share this award with my staff and my wonderful wife who has supported me every step of the way."
