I have always been passionate about all animals, from the pony mad six year old, to the sixteen year old volunteering at the local wildlife rescue centre.

I made this passion official by completing a National Diploma in Animal Management, followed by a higher education certificate in Animal Science. I have many years of experience with a variety of animals, alongside specialising in equines for over 10 years.

I specialised in avian species through much of this education, and have 10 years of experience volunteering with birds of prey. I also bred and showed Pekin bantam chickens. See my sister site, Hillcrest Heritage Hens, for more chicken information and resources.

I have been an equine massage therapist and behavioural consultant since 2015. I love working with people and their horses to create happier partnerships.

2024 brings exciting new opportunities for me, as I am now operating an equine rehabilitation facility at Hillcrest Stables, Newton Abbot, Devon.
