The team caring for Jo's horses
My horses receive the very best care, both from my experienced team of staff and from the close attention of the vets, farriers, equine physio, chiropractor and equine dentist that are very much part of the team. The staff never take short cuts, every detail of each horses well being is thorough and if extra time is needed it is taken.
I have chosen the very best professionals from each area to care for my horses. Each brings a wealth of knowledge and experience and different expertise. My professional integrity, experience and knowledge forms an understanding between me and the practitioner's I choose.
The team: Peter Milligan (vet), Mark Slingsby (dentist), James Hiat (farrier), Annabelle Galt (physio), Ellen Stanwell (chiro), Chris Palmer (groom), Holly Bates (groom)
Veterinary practice
Peter Milligan (Lambourn Equine Vets)
Qualified from Royal Vet College in 2006. I then completed a 2 year hospital internship position at Greenwood Ellis and partners, now known as Newmarket Equine Hospital, where I was heavily involved in both surgical and medical treatment of racehorse and sports horses. I moved to Lambourn Equine Vets in September 2008. My areas of interest are orthopaedics and more specifically the management and treatment of racehorse and elite sports horses.
