Visiting surgeons and specialists

Oliver graduated from Glasgow University Veterinary School in 2010, after which he worked in mixed practice in Nottinghamshire for 2 years. Following that, he undertook an equine ambulatory role in Hertfordshire/Essex, followed by an internship at a large equine referral hospital in Newmarket. In February 2020 Oliver passed the qualifying examinations of the European College of Veterinary Surgeons, becoming a Diplomate of the College and a European Specialist in Equine Surgery. Outside work Oliver is a keen rugby enthusiast and after playing at varying levels, finally hung up his boots in 2018, he now likes to observe from the touchline and is an avid supporter of Edinburgh Rugby club. Oliver has a young family, which keeps him entertained and is currently learning how to change nappies, so if you see him looking unduly tired please pour him a coffee – black and strong.

After 20 years as an equine stud vet, Pete totally “switched ends” and became obsessed with equine dentistry. Pete now has a 100% equine dentistry caseload, split between routine and advanced cases, and enjoys teaching equine dentistry to Vets and EDT’s, both on courses and in daily practice.

He is a founder committee member of EVDA (Equine Veterinary Dental Association). His special interests are periodontal disease, minimally invasive extraction techniques, restorative dentistry and endodontic treatments. Modern equine veterinary dentistry is advancing year on year at an exciting pace, and in Pete’s opinion is the place to be. Pete visits us on a monthly basis to treat advanced cases alongside our vets.
