The American Association of Equine Practitioners has announced the launch of a special video project inviting horse owners to celebrate the dedication and partnership of their equine veterinarians. The initiative seeks to shine a spotlight on the veterinary professionals who provide exceptional care to the horse and compassionate support for owners.

The AAEP will show a special tribute project created from the submitted videos at its upcoming annual convention in Denver, Colorado Dec. 6–10. The organization will also share the project across its digital platforms.

Every horse owner who submits a video will receive a digital $10 Starbucks gift card.

Submission details

The AAEP is asking horse owners to submit short videos, 30 seconds or less. These should illustrate why their equine veterinarian is an invaluable partner in their horses’ care. Submissions should focus on the aspects of care that demonstrate partnership, dedication and service beyond the expected.

How to submit:

• Create a video no longer than 30 seconds explaining why your equine vet is an invaluable partner.
• Please shoot your video in landscape mode (horizontal orientation).
• Send the video file via Facebook or Instagram direct message (DM). Facebook: American Association of Equine Practitioners & Instagram: @aaephorsedocs
