Holly graduated from Glasgow vet school in 2014, and started out in mixed practice in West Wales. After a short stint as a locum, she settled in the Peak District for five years, again in mixed practice. Following this, she continued to work in the area as a clinical locum and then a product export vet during COVID.

In 2021 she moved back to Scotland, where she embarked on an equine career. She took up a position as a vet at Glasgow University’s equine hospital and practice, and gained lots of great experience. She saw the light, and realised then that equine only work was for her.

She now teaches Equine Clinical Skills at Glasgow vet school, whilst also doing equine ambulatory work. She really enjoy the teaching aspect of the job and bringing clinical experience to it. It’s great seeing students take on board skills and knowledge, ready to become vets themselves.

She lives with her husband and cat near Loch Lomond, where there is plenty of opportunity to enjoy the Scottish wilderness, and they regularly head out climbing, hillwalking, swimming and canoeing. Holly also enjoys the odd gentle hack out on the almost retired horse, Danny.
