Today we saw the best parts of the equine industry shine. Spending some of the day with clients who have become friends and cheering on one of our favourite people 🩷 Thank you to Northern Districts Hack & Dressage for hosting such a wonderful event.

We had a couple of hours off this morning & we decided to spend it running the Bridge to Brisbane 😅

Granted, when I signed us up for this, I had every thought that we would be able to train…. 🫣 However, all the emergency colics, chokes, stitch ups and our two young children had other plans for us!

We might be more lame than any horse we see tomorrow… and for all of our clients wondering… Yes, I beat Chris 🏃‍♀️💪🏻😂

One of our patients decided to party too hard on the weekend and ended up causing himself a severe laceration. 🫣

Luckily, we don’t party on the weekends & were available to attend quickly and suture him back together. His wound was closed with a three layer closure using absorbable suture material. A Penrose drain was also placed to facilitate wound drainage, minimise infection risk and reduce swelling/tension of the area.

He was the perfect patient, receiving a 5⭐️ review from his vet for his kind nature and tolerance of stable rest. 🙏🏼

“Find a job you enjoy doing, and you’ll never have to work a day in your life” - Mark Twain

Little Duckie was full of kisses. I was there the evening she was born and couldn’t be more proud of the beautiful, sweet yearling she’s becoming!

A busy & exhausting week, however, will never not appreciate that I get to to spend these long days with such incredible patients 🥰

Monday started off with a team BBQ breakfast, discussing patient care & treatment plans. 📝

It then ended with a successful standing eye enucleation surgery!🐴 A great outcome when you have wonderful owners and a team of great vets/support staff who all work coherently and are committed to going the extra mile for their patients.🙏🏼

Feeling so thankful for everyone’s effort today (and every day!).

Well done team! 💪🏻

💐Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing mums!💐

My arms are always full and I’m forever juggling work life/mum life… but oh boy, I’m so lucky to have these two cheeky monkeys in my life. 🙉🙈

In 20 years time, who knows… maybe they’ll be the vets turning up to treat your horses! 😅

🤍 Happy World Vet Day 🤍

Thinking today of the incredible veterinarians I’ve had the privilege of working with in the past, present and future!

What these professionals have given to their patients, colleagues and clinical research within the industry is nothing short of incredible.

The days are long, they often finish with you being physically, mentally and emotionally exhausted. You never switch off and you are constantly thinking of ways to improve, better yourself and your profession. There are days when you feel useless and others like you've saved someone's world. Despite all of this.....

The hard work paid off. I love my job, more than I could ever put into words and remind myself on a daily basis how lucky I really am. 🤍

💥 Our Veterinary team has EXPANDED 💥

We couldn’t be more excited to welcome Dr. Emily Mabbot to the EquiVet QLD team! We have known Emily as a colleague and friend for over a decade; she is an exceptional vet and we know her expertise will be appreciated and welcomed by our clients.

Have a read about Dr. Emily below:

Emily always knew she wanted to be a Vet while she was growing up and she qualified with her Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine & Surgery from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland in 2005. By then she had had enough of the infamous British climate, and moved to Hong Kong (where she had grown up) and worked at the Hong Kong Jockey club for 3 years, which also allowed her to be part of the veterinary team at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Equestrian events.

After a rather prolonged holiday travelling Australia, Emily decided she liked it so much that she decided to stay! She spent a busy 5 years working at an Equine Referral centre and Hospital in the Western suburbs of Brisbane. Here she dealt with a huge variety of cases from general medicine and dentistry though to anaesthesia, surgery, foal medicine and intensive care patients. More importantly it was here where she first met EquiVet QLD’s founder Charlotte. Needless to say a firm friendship developed over colic surgeries in the wee hours of the morning and extremely busy weekends on call.

Emily may be a familiar face in Moreton Bay as she has been living and working around the area for the past 9 years. In late 2023 Dr. Emily was given the opportunity to join the EquiVet QLD team and she is very excited to be working alongside Charlotte and the team.

Emily enjoys all aspects of equine veterinary work and has completed further training in equine dentistry, and admits she has a bit of a soft spot for our geriatric patients.

When Emily is not at work she is kept busy with her two young boys, usually by spending time at the beach or plotting her family's next camping trip as well as looking after her rather naughty American Staffy, Nitro.

🩵Welcome to the Team Emily! 💪🏻

With all this wet weather, this seemed like an appropriate memory to pop up. 🌧️ Taken a few years ago when Dr. Charlotte was working in the UK.

This has never been a 9-5 job, every single day is different and the situations horse’s find themselves in will never cease to amaze me! 🤯 Happy to say despite being tired, cold and a little embarrassed… this gelding made a full recovery!

Tom and I debriefing on the week that unfolded… I’m not sure who’s more exhausted! 😅

I don’t have favourites, but oh boy, this horse is so special and I’ll be forever thankful to be his vet! 🙏🏼

P.S: Don’t tell Tom I’m his vet, he just thinks we’re good mates! 🫣
