U-Vet Werribee Equine Centre will receive more than $3 million to continue developing its equine lameness prevention and diagnosis program.
The gift, from Loreto and Martin Hosking, will allow U-Vet Werribee Equine Centre to grow into an exemplar program that brings together research capability with cutting-edge diagnostic imaging facilities and clinical care.
The U-Vet Werribee Equine Centre is a critically important program within the Melbourne Veterinary School. Recognised globally for its work in equine lameness prevention and diagnosis, this contribution will bring still greater focus to the centre as a specialist referral clinic dedicated to these services for both performance and leisure horses and the racing industry.
