The Rivers Equine Vets

10/06/2026

✨Welcome to our new Vet ✨
Dr Imi is excited to be joining The Rivers Equine Vets team! Having studied in Adelaide, she moved to Mermaid Beach with her three kittens and childhood horse, grateful for sunshine, rainforests, and a more alternative lifestyle.

Imi is passionate about all aspects of equine vetting, with a special interest in dentistry, welfare, and all things tiny (hello, minis and foals!). She has completed Levels 1, 2 and 3 of Dr Oliver Liyou’s dentistry courses - all going to plan, she will sit her membership exams in 2028. Imi finds most fulfilment by building a strong rapport with clients and their horses. She also enjoys reading, women’s circles and soaking up the sun by the ocean. If you see her on the road, be sure to say hello!

Remember to keep a close eye on your horse with the cooler nights - sometimes they forget to drink enough when it’s cold! 🥶 Adding some electrolytes into their daily routine is a good way to encourage extra water intake. We recommend Drink-Up or Electropaste ✅
