Hertfordshire Student's Bid To Win Prestigous Award

An equine science student from Great Munden, near Ware is hoping to become the winner of the prestigious Eqvalan Thesis of the Year Award following selection to attend the final judging phase at this year's British Equine Event held at Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire on the 2nd and 3rd of November.

Emma Hedderson who recently graduated from Imperial College at Wye, Ashford, Kent submitted her final year BSc (Hons) thesis to the Eqvalan award panel in July. She said "I'm really surprised and thrilled to have made it through to the final held at the British Equine Event, I am looking forward to meeting the judges and discussing my work."

Now in its fourth year, the Royal Agricultural Society of England initiated award is designed to reward academic excellence within colleges offering equine degree courses. Fifteen top institutions put forward their best equine student to be considered. As one of five finalists, Emma has been invited to give a fifteen-minute presentation to a panel of judges at the Event and undergo an in-depth question and answer session. This year's Eqvalan thesis award winner will be presented with their prize in a private ceremony later on during the weekend.
