💬 A message from David:

"After over 20 years of equine veterinary work at Penbode, I feel that it is time for me to move on. This has not been an easy decision to make, as I have been around the practice all my life and have many happy memories and strong family connections to Penbode. My wife Sally is still a vet in the small animal department, and we still live in Bude. Emma, our daughter, is keeping busy with her pony club activities, dressage, and eventing, so I'm sure we will be catching up with many of you on the local circuit. I wish to thank you all for entrusting me with the care of your precious horses, ponies, and donkeys over the last 2 decades and for the kindness you have shown me. It has been an honour."

The team at Penbode Equine Vets would like to thank him for all his hard work, support, and dedication to the practice over the last 20 years, and wish him all the best for the future. 🍀
