The AAEP Celebrates Milestone Anniversaries with Four Key Educational Partners

The American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) is proud to recognize and celebrate four longstanding Educational Partners for reaching significant milestone anniversaries in their commitment to the equine veterinary profession.

The AAEP extends its deepest gratitude to Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health, Purina, and Zoetis for achieving 25 years of partnership, and to American Regent Animal Health for reaching its 20th year as an Educational Partner.

Since its inception in 2001, the AAEP Educational Partners Program has been a cornerstone of the association’s ability to provide world-class resources to its members. By aligning with industry leaders who share a common vision, the AAEP is able to secure vital support that directly enhances membership benefits, expands continuing education opportunities, and fosters a lasting impact on the health and welfare of the horse.

“The longevity of these partnerships speaks volumes about the shared leadership and dedication these companies have for the horse and the veterinary community,” said David Foley, AAEP executive director. “We are incredibly grateful for their unwavering support of our mission; their continued investment in our members and programs; and their philanthropic support for the horse through our charitable arm, The Foundation for the Horse.”

These mutually beneficial collaborations ensure that the AAEP remains at the forefront of equine medicine. The collective contributions of these four partners have been instrumental in driving innovation and providing the fiscal foundation for many of AAEP’s most successful initiatives over the past two decades.
