prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert light\">\n<p>When you talk to Bert Okker, you immediately hear it: the Veterinary Sport Horse Congress didn\u2019t become a household name in the sport horse world by accident. It was born out of stubbornness, love for the profession, and a good dose of perseverance. Since 2003, Proveto has been organizing high-quality continuing education for practicing veterinarians and veterinary technicians. One of the highlights on the annual calendar is the Veterinary Sport Horse Congress during Jumping Amsterdam. This year, the congress will be organized for the 20th time at and in collaboration with Jumping Amsterdam.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cIt all started in 2004,\u201d says Bert. \u201cAs a young veterinarian, I was involved in part of the organization of Jumping Amsterdam with the closing Dressage Gala on Sunday evening. Together with Chris van Dam, then director of Jumping Amsterdam, the idea arose to create something new: a congress day specifically for equine veterinarians from the Netherlands and Belgium linked to a strong event like Jumping Amsterdam. At that time, Proveto was already organizing the Equine Reproduction Days during Zwolle International, especially for veterinarians who do a lot of reproduction work. A congress day exclusively about sport horses didn\u2019t exist anywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>A false start<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat first edition was a complete false start,\u201d says Bert with a smile. \u201cOne hundred veterinarians had registered, two top speakers from America were coming\u2026 and then? One canceled two weeks beforehand but promised to send a replacement. The second speaker, Virginia Reef, unfortunately had to cancel for personal reasons and also sent a substitute. It was a whirlwind of arrangements, last-minute solutions, improvisation\u2014how was this new initiative going to succeed?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That turned out not to be easy. The second year: stubbornly continued, against all logic. In 2006, Jumping Amsterdam moved enthusiastically to April because of the Dressage World Cup Final, decided late, and unfortunately exactly at the same time as \u2018Voorjaarsdagen,\u2019 then the largest multi-day international veterinary congress in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll the halls in the RAI were booked by Voorjaarsdagen; there was no space for our start-up congress. Any other company would have said: we\u2019ll skip this year. But we were stubborn and organized our congress in the nearby Novotel Amsterdam City Hotel.\u201d Our one-day program was made even stronger, with speakers such as Anky van Grunsven, Sue Dyson, and American sport horse veterinarian Tim Ober. Still, only 44 participants came because they had to choose between two programs. \u201cWe were on the verge of quitting, but something told us: give it one more chance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Third time\u2019s the charm<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And that turned out to be the right choice, now eighteen editions later. From the third edition onward, things started to take off. Today, the Veterinary Sport Horse Congress has grown into one of the most prestigious congresses in the world, with about 450 equine veterinarians from over thirty countries, and organized twenty times (even with two corona years in between).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe beauty is,\u201d says Bert, \u201cthat everyone who matters in the sport horse world knows: it happens during Jumping Amsterdam.\u201d Twenty years of this congress also means twenty years of bringing together and connecting international sport horse veterinarians. Bert: \u201cThe veterinary sector has changed enormously. There is more and more knowledge, techniques are improving, and the need for specialization is growing. Proveto\u2019s goal at all the meetings we organize is to support veterinarians by making international top knowledge accessible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Connection with top sport<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>An important selling point of the congress during Jumping Amsterdam? Accessibility, literally and figuratively. \u201cOur congress hall is right in the RAI. You walk straight from the arena with top sport into the lecture hall. That\u2019s truly unique; it creates an atmosphere you won\u2019t find anywhere else.\u201d The collaboration with Jumping Amsterdam is so strong because it started with people who knew each other, trusted each other, and wanted to build together. \u201cI already knew the organization well, and that personal connection has always played a role. It\u2019s a smaller world than you think. And that\u2019s what makes this so special.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>World-class riders can only perform if management is optimal. The attending veterinarian plays a crucial role in that. The absolute world top in both dressage and jumping will come to Jumping Amsterdam in January to compete for World Cup points. That also means their veterinarians want to be there to support these top athletes. For sport horse veterinarians, this means combining stable work with gaining and exchanging knowledge with colleagues during the congress. In addition, the trade fair of the Veterinary Sport Horse Congress attracts all leading pharmaceutical companies and suppliers introducing the latest medicines and techniques.<\/p>\n<p>A message for the next generation of equine veterinarians? Bert doesn\u2019t have to think long. \u201cStay curious. The horse sport changes, the profession of veterinarian changes. The only thing you must never lose is the drive to keep learning. That\u2019s how we move forward together in a dynamic world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Two parties that, each in their own way, have grown by sticking to quality, dedication, and a touch of stubbornness. \u201cIt feels good to celebrate these milestones together,\u201d says Bert. \u201cWe started side by side and we\u2019re still here, together.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\"
