Presenters and Topics

Professor Derek Knottenbelt - Wound Healing and Oncology

Dr Jonathan Pycock - Equine Reproduction

Dr David Ramey - Evidence Based Medicine

Dr Gary Wilson - Equine Dentistry

Advanced Musculoskeletal Ultrasonography Workshop

By popular demand the return of the twilight tutorial sessions and accompanying panel discussions.

"Our international speakers, Derek Knottenbelt, Jonathan Pycock, David Ramey, bring a wealth of experience in practice and our Australian speaker, Gary Wilson is internationally recognised in his field of equine dentistry. While it is called the Bain Fallon Memorial Lectures to honour two of our departed colleagues, the Bain Fallon is about so much more than lectures. It is a place where new graduates can meet experienced practitioners, where we can catch up with the mates that we haven’t seen for ages, perhaps since last years conference and to make new friends who we can see again at next years conference."

EVA President/Bain Fallon Education Convenor - Dr. James Gilkerson

Andrew Murray Bain BSc, MRCVS, MACVS

Murray graduated from the Royal (Dick) Veterinary School, Edinburgh, in July 1937. After service in the Royal Army Veterinary Corps in the Middle East during World Ward II, and followed by brief periods spent gaining experience of Thoroughbred breeding in Kentucky and New Zealand, he settled in Scone, NSW, in 1950 where he worked until his death. In this time he built up a large group practice, based primarily on work with Thoroughbred horses and cattle. His particular interests were infertility in the mare, diseases of newborn foals and the many management problems associated with Thoroughbred breeding. He kept detailed records of all his cases and over the years published many authoritative papers based on his observations. He took an active interest in post-graduate education and was one of the foundation members of the Post-Graduate Committee in Veterinary Science of The University of Sydney. He was a gifted speaker and gave many interesting lectures to veterinary surgeons and horse breeders throughout Australia, New Zealand, America and Great Britain. He was awarded the Seddon Prize by the Australian Veterinary Association for his major contributions to clinical veterinary medicine.

Despite many years of life in Australia, Murray was always a proud Scot, remaining conscious of his early upbringing in Scotland and his training at 'The Dick'. He was strong, agile, energetic and tremendously able as a practising veterinary surgeon. By the time of his death he had acquired a great fund of knowledge and experience in equine veterinary medicine, which gave him the confidence and decisiveness so well known to all those who knew him as a friend or sought his professional help and advice. He had an ordered mind and was clean and tidy in his work. He enjoyed life to the full and always encouraged others to join in with him. He took a lively interest in a wide field of activities and was especially prominent in making Scone the active centre of Thoroughbred breeding and racing in Australia that it is. He was full of praise for things well done and equally intolerant of anything that he thought was wrong.

Murray became ill at the height of his career and to this end felt frustrated and disappointed that his life should ebb away when he had still so much more to contribute. He hated the sickness that overtook him and fought hard and courageously against it. Murray Bain died at Scone in New South Wales on 18 March 1974 after a long and painful illness courageously endured.

Peter Fallon BVSc, MACVS

Peter Fallon died suddenly at his home in Burwood, Victoria, on 25th June 1974 on the eve of his departure to attend the Equine Reproduction Symposium in Cambridge.

A native of Christchurch, New Zealand, Peter studied Agricultural Sciences at Lincoln University, Christchurch, before transferring to The School of Veterinary Science, University of Sydney, where he graduated in 1948. Following a period as resident veterinary surgeon on two major Thoroughbred studs in Victoria, Peter established a private practice in Tallangatta in northeast Victoria in 1955. Three years later he moved to Burwood in Melbourne where, up to the time he died, he admirably served the veterinary needs of many important Thoroughbred studs in Victoria and major racing stables in the metropolitan area of Melbourne.

A man of great drive, energy and commonsense, Peter was always outspoken in his opinions, which were backed by more than 20 years of hard work, experience and keen observation on Thoroughbred breeding and racing. While not a man of the written word, he nevertheless frequently presented the results of his original research and clinical investigations in his own inimitable style at numerous meetings of veterinary surgeons throughout Australia. As a result, other veterinary surgeons engaged in equine stud practice greatly benefited from his long experience and clinical acumen.
