We are a community of individuals who are committed to making a difference in the life of our equine patients and their owners.

The History of AAEVT

Our organization started as a concept in 2002. A small group of equine technicians and assistants organized several CE events with a primary focus on equine wet labs and lectures. The idea began to gain traction and soon an AAEP Task Force and Organizing Committee were created. In 2004, the first AAEVT Annual Conference took place. Since that time, we have committed ourselves to advocate for the entire equine veterinary health care team, growing our community from 250 members to over 1,000 members worldwide.

The Purpose
of AAEVT 

From the beginning, the purpose of the AAEVT has been simple: to provide premium continuing education, create a thriving community, and to advocate for the entire equine veterinary health care team. We are passionate about our profession and have devoted  ourselves to ensuring that our community has everything they need to succeed. We currently provide wet labs and lectures across the US. This includes a four-day annual conference. We also provide essential resources for our community such as our Career Center, Online Certification Program, and Equine Manual. We truly believe that success starts with community. Come join us.
