Equine Thesis Award
The
‘Eqvalan Duo’ Equine Thesis Award, sponsored by Merial, is made by the RASE each
year to recognise academic achievement in the equestrian field and to showcase
the best academic research to the equestrian industry. The winner receives an
engraved glass, a commemorative certificate, £500, and five year’s free
membership of the Society. The winner has also traditionally had the opportunity
to present their thesis to industry delegates at the National Equine Forum.
