The Russian Equine Veterinary Association (REVA) serves as the principal professional body supporting equine veterinarians throughout Russia.
With a focus on professional development, research, and collaboration, REVA plays a critical role in advancing horse health, veterinary science, and continuing education in one of the world’s most expansive equine landscapes.
History and Founding of REVA
REVA was established to meet the growing demand for a unified organization that could bring together veterinarians focused on equine health and performance across Russia’s vast geographic regions.
The Russian Equine Veterinary Association has grown steadily, building a platform for clinical knowledge-sharing, policy development, and scientific collaboration. While exact founding details remain limited online, REVA has become a respected voice in the Russian veterinary community.

REVA’s core mission is to improve the standards of equine veterinary care across Russia while fostering professional unity and development. Its key objectives include:
- Enhancing the diagnosis, treatment, and welfare of horses across all regions
- Supporting veterinary education and the dissemination of clinical knowledge
- Encouraging the use of evidence-based practices and technologies
- Providing a forum for discussion, collaboration, and continuing professional development (CPD)
The Russian Equine Veterinary Association acts as a conduit between academia, private practice, and national policy, promoting a high level of scientific and clinical exchange.
Events and Education
While detailed listings are limited online, REVA is known to organize and participate in:
- National veterinary congresses and symposia
- Equine-focused seminars and webinars

Through these initiatives, Russian equine vets gain access to up-to-date diagnostics, treatment protocols, and a stronger support network.
Structure and Leadership

ts leadership team helps coordinate educational programs, partnerships, and strategic planning. Like many veterinary associations, REVA includes both academic and private-sector practitioners, ensuring relevance across practice types.
International Links: From Russia to the World
REVA is internationally connected through its affiliation with the World Equine Veterinary Association (WEVA). These links allow REVA members to benefit from international CPD, cross-border learning, and participation in congresses that bring together equine vets from all over the globe.
