My Connection Statement
I help worried horse owners with sick or injured horses get their horses well again through best practice care, workshops and on line education.
About Me - My Biography
I am the founder and managing director of the Equine Care Clinic and Equine E Care – organisations dedicated to the care of sick or injured horses.
My background in Emergency Nursing and my passion for horses converged nicely to respond to the worries of horse owners in their time of need.
I love being able to provide practical, relevant and up to date information and solutions and that is our ethos. Translating research into practice and getting it out there is important. I also translate Vet speak into the language the rest of us speak so owners get what is going on. I get a kick out of doing all this in the most cost effective way possible.
There is a knack to convincing a 500kg animal they really should stand still while I clean that massive wound on their back leg and that there is no need to kick me in the head! Approached the right way most of these gentle giants allow me to do what needs to be done. It’s incredibly satisfying work – if you can call it work.
I have been a nurse for 28 years – 17 of those spent in busy emergency departments and the last 11 working senior health executive roles in hospitals ensuring safe and effective care delivery. My family and I have built the Equine Care Clinic as a side hustle since 2010. This year (2018) I finally took the leap from corporate world and I’m so happy that I did. It’s been life changing in so many ways.
I’m now looking forward to really promoting our message and building on the foundation established.
