HORSE lovers are being invited to highlight invaluable work and nominate their favourite equine charity for annual awards.

UK insurer Petplan works with more than 1,000 charities throughout the nation and its horse-related sister brand Petplan Equine is holding an awards show to recognise those who go above and beyond.

Nominations open on Monday for the team of the year category, the volunteer of the year category, and the employee of the year category.

Charlotte Collyer, Petplan senior marketing executive, said: “Horse welfare is at the heart of Petplan Equine and we work closely with equine charities throughout the UK.

“We would like to make sure that equine charities get as many nominations as possible so we are asking horse lovers throughout the UK to go online and nominate their favourite.”
