What a fabulous day at Chagford Show thank you to everyone who came and saw us! 🚜🐄🐴

We were very pleased to see one of our clients, Dawley Dave and his owner Terry. Dave is a Suffolk Punch, a critically endangered breed and was competing in the heavy horse class today.

It’s his first ever show and we think he looks fantastic! ✨

Amelia joined the team at St Boniface Vets in 2023 after graduating as a Vet from Bristol University. She is originally from Devon but over the other side of the moors, in Tavistock. Having previously had a career in the NHS working in London, Bristol and Plymouth, Amelia has now decided to come and settle back in Devon.

Here at St Boniface Vets, Amelia is currently undertaking mixed practice, across Small Animal, Equine and Farm, as she has a huge interest in all creatures great and small. She is excited to meet all of our clients out on farm, in the practice or on a yard!

Out of work, she is either walking the moors or on the beach with her wire-haired dachshund, Herman, who loves running and swimming in anything filled with water (especially the muddiest puddle going!). When she's not out exploring, you can find her curled up on the sofa with a good book or film, with one of her cats Dino, Rudie or D***s. Amelia also enjoys exercising at the gym or riding horses around Devon.
