Sally joined our reproduction veterinary team in January 2025 and has a particular interest in problem broodmares, neonatology, medicine and ophthalmology.

She graduated from Liverpool University in 2004 with a distinction in equine studies, and during her final year she completed a stud medicine elective in Matamata, New Zealand.

After a short stint in mixed practice in South Africa, Sally completed an internship at Bushy Equine Clinic in Gloucestershire, covering all aspects of equine practice in a busy referral centre. She then spent a year in Devon at St Davids Equine where her duties included veterinary care for one of the donkey sanctuary farms.

She spent the 2007 Southern hemisphere stud season working for Scone Equine Hospital, Australia, as a resident vet on two large thoroughbred stud farms. In 2008, she joined Greenwood, Ellis and Partners  which later became Newmarket Equine Hospital. Here she was responsible for the veterinary care for several large thoroughbred studs and led the foal medicine team. She also was involved with the horses in training, racecourse duties, bloodstock sales, busy shipping department and had the opportunity to be the veterinary surgeon on horse flights to a number of interesting destinations. She was also involved with the education programme at the National Stud and the Newmarket Stud Farmers Association.

Whilst based in Newmarket, she worked further southern Hemisphere stud seasons at Hamilton Vet Services in New Zealand, where she was responsible for several large thoroughbred and standardbred studs, and spent another stint at Scone Equine Hospital based at the Clovelly Intensive Care unit, gaining further neonatology and intensive care experience.

In December 2022 Sally joined the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) as a Veterinary Officer, which includes Raceday and non-Raceday regulatory duties, pre-race examinations, suitability to race assessments and anti-doping testing. She combined this with stud work at Newmarket Equine Hospital until July 2023.

Alongside her BHA duties, Sally spent the 2024 breeding season Oakham Equine Hospital, where she was responsible for the veterinary care of both thoroughbred and non-thoroughbred clients, including the busy clinic-based assisted reproduction services.

Outside of work Sally enjoys exploring the countryside with her three children and whippet Ted.
