AAEP Equine Veterinary Sustainability Initiative
Many areas of the United States and beyond currently face a shortage of equine practitioners to provide veterinary care to horses and other equids. This equine welfare issue will further intensify without action to address the diminishing number of equine veterinarians.
The AAEP has formed the Commission on Equine Veterinary Sustainability to develop strategies to retain and recruit more veterinarians to equine practice.
Support the Foundation
Through education, research, and support to horses at risk, The Foundation for the Horse seeks to "Transform the Lives of Horses."
Career Center
Whether you’re a job seeker or an employer, the AAEP Career Center is your gateway to opportunity and growth in equine practice.
