About Me
I gained my BSc (Hons) Equine Science in 2005 from Hartpury/UWE. After this I went on to work as an Equine Veterinary Nurse within clinical, surgical and on-call roles, gaining a real interest in colic and equine dysautonomia, as well as lameness and diagnostic modalities.
I joined Sparsholt College in 2008 and have since gained both my PGCE and QTLS. In July 2020, I completed my MRes on rider body image and positive impact on rider biomechanics.
My specialist areas of interest include equine nutrition, gastrointestinal and neurological conditions, veterinary science and rehabilitation.
My industry experience includes working, producing and grooming in a variety of settings including dressage studs and rehabilitation yards. I have competed for many years across all disciplines and enjoy self-producing my horses from a young age.
