🏆 Congratulations to Alice Goff who won BETA Equine Thesis of the Year!

She said about the day: "It was a really interesting morning with some great presentations from the other finalists, I really enjoyed sharing my research project and discussing my findings with the judges. It's such an honour to have won and it is amazing to have been able to represent RVC."

Alice Goff, representing The Royal Veterinary College (RVC), is the winner of the 2024 BETA Equine Thesis of the Year Award with her dissertation: Prognostic Indicators for Survival in Horses with African Horse Sickness.

The judges praised all four 2024 BETA Thesis of the Year finalists for their practically applied topics of real relevance to the equine industry.

“The selection of Alice as the winner was a unanimous decision by the judging panel. Her dissertation was well-written, concise and professionally presented. Its outcomes have real-life application and could directly impact horse welfare.”

“The judging panel would like to congratulate each of the finalists on the successful completion of their dissertation. During the competition, their presentations allowed them to elaborate on their written work and bring their research to life,” said Dr Georgina Crossman, who headed the four-strong judging panel.

● Myerscough College & University Centre- Charlotte Hodgetts – Cooling practices for equine thermoregulation after cross country competition.
● University of Limerick – Jake Draper – An investigation into the profitability of first season thoroughbred sires.
● Aberystwyth University – Rifka Faithfull – Influences of double and snaffle bridles on equine behaviour at dressage competitions and factors that interact with their effect.

Congratulations, Alice! Well done to Charlotte, Jake, and Rifka!

🦛 A new study from the RVC into the movement and gaits of hippopotamuses on land has found that while they almost exclusively trot, the fastest-moving hippos become airborne for substantial periods of time. This research will improve scientific understanding of how the size of large animals influences their movement on land, support the reconstruction of the evolutionary biomechanics of hippo lineages and help veterinarians diagnose or monitor hippos that have problems moving or are experiences lameness. ➡️ Read more: https://rvc.uk.com/airborne-hippos
