Today we are itroducing another vet and part of the orthopedic team, Jess Laffan. Jess will be familiar to a lot of you that have maybe brought your horse to the clinic for a lameness investigation, and here she is pictured on her recent horseback safari holiday!

𝗧𝗲𝗮/𝗰𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗲 𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿: Tea or coffee, milk no sugar.

𝗚𝗼 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸: A podcast or an audio book. I would like to say they are educational, but they are usually fairly trashy.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝘆: A Welsh Cob. An abundance of mane and always hungry.

🎊 𝗔 𝗯𝗶𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂! 🎊

If you couldn't tell from our meet the team posts already, a lot of our team have a sweet tooth! So the surprise that turned up this morning from a client and their horse was much appreciated. Philip and the whole team are very grateful for these treats and want to say a big thank you. What makes them taste even sweeter is that, with their very dedicated owner, the horse is back in full work after a lengthy recovery! 👏

✨️ 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 ✨️

Starting off a fresh week we have someone that many owners and horses will have got to know! Harriet is our Senior Technician and can often be found in the clinic or on the road helping the vets with investigations. Here she is pictured looking very smart with her horse Dennis!

𝗥𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲: Senior Technician

𝗙𝗮𝘃𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗷𝗼𝗯: Anything to do with scoping and the variety of characters we see/meet - horses and owners! 😃

𝗔𝗻𝘆 𝗽𝗲𝘁𝘀: Dennis a 16 year old Irish Sport Horse and Fizz my poodle cross puppy ❤️

✨️ 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 ✨️

To brighten up a very rainy week we have another well known face and long-standing member of the BEV team to re-introduce, Director Andrew Wallace.

𝗥𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲: Director, Veterinary Surgeon, Tea Maker

𝗙𝗮𝘃𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗷𝗼𝗯: Making the lives a little better for the people and animals I encounter. That and being offered a chocolate biscuit by a client when I'm hungry.

𝗔𝗻𝘆 𝗽𝗲𝘁𝘀: I have two kids ages 10 and 7 years. Both are nearly house trained.

𝗙𝗮𝘃𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝘀𝗻𝗮𝗰𝗸: In my car I always have dry bland biscuits. That way I have something available for when emergencies mean I miss a meal, but nothing too exciting that causes me to snack unnecessarily. I have a sweet tooth so snacks are an Achilles heel if not restricted.

𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗷𝗼𝗯: X-ray vision. It would save me a huge amount of time in lameness investigations and vettings, and stop the need for having to wear a heavy lead gown on hot summer days.

𝗧𝗲𝗮/𝗰𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗲 𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿: Tea milk no sugar. Milk without lumpy bits please (as we usually find in the practice fridge on a Momday morning).

𝗚𝗼 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸: Sport, news, veterinary, comedy and photography podcasts. When I have a student in the car I put on music. When I have a student in the car who asks lots of challenging questions I put on loud music.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝘆: I would like to say the rather exotic breed Akhal-Teke as their Wikipedia page states they have "a reputation for speed and endurance, intelligence, and a distinctive metallic sheen". But sadly I'd realistically be a Cob: "stout build, with strong bones, large joints, and a steady disposition".

💚 𝗦𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲! 💚

Hope you're all feeling inspired by Bake Off as we invite you to join us for a charity morning of coffee and cake to raise funds for Macmillan on Tuesday 29th October.

𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗷𝗼𝗯: The ability to duplicate vets when I need them in more than one place at the same time.

𝗧𝗲𝗮/𝗰𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗲 𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿: Mint tea

𝗚𝗼 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸: Anything by the Arctic Monkeys

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝘆: A Cob x Welsh section D because I like to think I'm kind and reliable but at times a bit erratic.

𝗧𝗲𝗮/𝗰𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗲 𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿: Tea with milk, no sugar

𝗚𝗼 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸: Depends who is in the car – on the school run it’s the Frozen soundtrack but left to my own devices it’s got to be Ed Sheeran!

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝘆: A Shetland – small, tenacious and occasionally feisty but fun!
