Welcome to Cheltenham Equine Vets

Brittany spent many years in Europe as a ski instructor and joined our team when she returned to Cheltenham.
Leanne spent many years working in community playgroups before joining us. Her knees have benefitted from being seated on an office chair rather than kneeling down with toddlers! At home she enjoys socialising with friends and walking her spaniel, Dexter.
Nicola joined the office team in April 2019 having worked in a variety of human healthcare settings. She is our Practice Manager and embraces all the challenges of life at Cheltenham Equine. She enjoys meals out with her family and walks with her Spaniel (who joins her in the office a couple of days a week where she enjoys meeting clients) Nicola has also recently joined the training section of Cheltenham Silver Band.
Alice helped us out on a locum basis in the Autumn of 2022 and we all got on with her so well that she joined us full time in January 2023. Following an internship at Towcester, she relocated to Gloucestershire in order to work at Cheltenham Equine.
Becky completed two placements with us whilst she was a student and we were so impressed that we offered her a position!
Paola is our Business and Finance Manager. She sheds light on those sums which some of us struggle to understand. Out of work, she is discovering the joys of not cleaning up after her boys who are now both at University. Of course, this also gives her much more time to spend with her horse Joey.
Kay joined our administration team in September 2021. After many years of working in small animal practice, she is very happy to be part of our equine world now. Joining Cheltenham Equine has given her an insight into the world of horse medicine which is great for Mosco her beloved cob.
Lindsay graduated from Edinburgh in 1998 and has mainly spent her career as an equine vet working in first and second opinion equine practices. In the last 10 years she has become increasingly interested in subtle poor performance in the athletic horse. “I consider every ridden or driven horse to be an athlete on some level, even the happy hacker needs to be thought of as having an important job to do” Lindsay regularly incorporates acupuncture into her treatment regime and enjoys working along side experienced physiotherapists to get the best treatment for the horse. In her spare time Lindsay juggles a menagerie of animals and children.
Jess qualified from Edinburgh University in 2003, and began her career working at Three Counties Equine Hospital, initially as a house surgeon then an assistant. A job in equine practice in Yorkshire followed, then she joined us in 2008. Jess enjoys all aspects of equine work, seeing clients and building relationships with them and their horses. Out of work she enjoys riding her own horse Charlie, and has a busy family life on the farm with 2 young sons and a collection of ponies, horses, dogs, chickens & sheep!
Anna joined the practice in 2017 having worked in a busy equine referral hospital, which gave her fantastic experience of first and second opinion cases. Anna loves all aspects of equine veterinary medicine, but what drives her most is getting to know the individual horse/pony and owner and working with them to do the best thing for the horse. She is a wizard with the gastroscope, which adds to her tool kit for investigating horses which are under performing or demonstrating any odd behaviour. In her spare time she is a whirl wind of horses and dogs and loves spending time with her boyfriend and family.
