The AHT was founded in 1942 as the Veterinary Education Trust by a veterinary surgeon, Dr W R Wooldridge, who saw the advances being made in human medicine and wanted to apply them for the benefit of animals. The Veterinary Education Trust was re-named the Animal Health Trust in 1948. The AHT has enjoyed considerable active support from the Royal Family. HM The Queen was graciously pleased to become Patron in 1959 and the AHT was awarded its Royal Charter in 1963. In 1991 HRH The Princess Royal became President and actively continues in the role today.
