“I love applying the theory in practical lab sessions. While I already have a veterinary nursing degree, studying an equine degree is giving me the expertise to work in a veterinary practice that specialises in small animals and horses. Hartpury is such an inspirational place to be. From interesting lectures to gaining experience in the hydrotherapy centre, I’m learning so much for the future.”
