Greetings!
We are happy to announce that Dr. Violet has recently achieved FEI certification as a Permitted Treatment Veterinarian and as a Level-one Officiating Veterinarian.
The Federation Equestre Internationale is the world body governing rules and regulations for horse competitions of jumping, dressage, para dressage , three day eventing , endurance, driving and vaulting.
To obtain certification, Dr. Violet had to
complete many hours of online training
under the guidance of FEI veterinarian Dr. Mike Tomlinson of Thousand Oaks, California.
With his credentials Dr. Violet now has privileges at FEI sanctioned events to inspect and treat competition horses.
Approved veterinarians along with other officials ensure the equine athletes are treated properly for any illness or injury and enforce strict biosecurity measures to prevent the spread of infectious diseases.
FEI veterinarians also enforce anti-doping regulations to promote clean and safe competition.
Dr. Violet is the attending Permitted Treatment Veterinarian for the Mozart Memorial CVI vaulting competition currently being held at Silver Tail Farm in Creswell.
Vaulting is a particularly difficult equestrian activity requiring tremendous athleticism from the vaulter and steady continual cooperation from the horse .
It truly is a beautiful sport to watch !
This event in Creswell could not have occurred without the dedication of the FEI team and the
tremendous efforts of Silver Tail Farm
and hosts Emily Park and Laura Frederiksen- Park !
