EQUINE | Annual Report
committees are:
• Developing practical and effective terms of
references for all positions on the executive to aid
in the efficient execution of the specified tasks.
This in it self makes the chairpersons tasks much
lighter.
- Angela Rogers- Finco
- Glynn Catton-Fedco Medco
- Caryn Rademeyer-Welfare
- Education committee
The main challenges for SAEVA as I see them are the
following.
• Membership numbers and appreciation of value
for money. This hopefully has been addressed
with the improved CPD and communications
through the Website/Facebook and regular EHU
newsletters. The association with BEVA and VetPD
is am amazing value for money and top class CPD
and webinars with apps.
• To source and produce a value for money
annual congress that will supply good quality
CPD but not loose the ethos of the organization
as in stimulating camaraderie within the equine
profession.
• Encourage young members to ‘get involved’ in
our organization and nurturing the mentorship
program and hopefully keeping them in the
equine profession and members for life.
• To maintain the structures of the committees and
identify leaders who are enthusiastic, passionate
and committed as well as being accountable to
their commitment and the SAEVA.

• Create an effective committee to assist the
President to deal with technical matters such
as challenges posed by the SAVC, SAVA and
welfare organizations. To improve the feedback
to members with clear time lines.
• To motivate Regional Representatives to ‘get
involved’ in disease reporting. Motivate practices
to ‘sign up’ and participate in the regional SAVA
congresses with the help of the communication
committee and Vetlink. This has been identified
as one of the main focuses and challenges of
SAEVA.
• To restructure the Sport Horse subcommittee to
engage with the SAEF executive as well as the
Veterinary Committee of SAEF on a biannual
basis. This to effectively influence the welfare
program and passport control (registrations and
traceability) of the national disciplines of SAEF.
Thank you to my committee and all those dedicated
members who have contributed their time and
resource to SAEVA in the time of my leadership. I
appreciate all your efforts and input into effecting
change for the positive in our profession.
Good luck to the incoming committee in their roles
and commitment to carrying forward the SAEVA spirit.
