John qualified as a veterinary surgeon from RVC London - we think sometime
in the middle ages….
After spells in general practice and with the RSPCA he went back to RVC
London to do research on horse reproduction.
In 1974 he started this veterinary practice based almost entirely on
equine stud work and between 1990 and 1997 John shuttled between the horse
breeding seasons in the UK and Queensland Australia .
Over the years John has accumulated data on all aspects of horse
reproduction,
published over 70 peer reviewed scientific papers and has
contributed
chapters to Standard veterinary textbooks that are referred to by vets
all over the world.
In recent years John has been invited to speak at conferences in Germany ,
Finland , Australia, Poland and Israel.
He has also given presentations on his research findings in America and
New Zealand.
Most recently in recognition of his contribution to the
field of Equine Reproduction he has been bestowed with an Honorary
Professorship by the University of Nottingham.
When John has spare time his interests include , gardening , hill walking
and breeding his own Irish Draft mares.
For the first time since establishing the practice in 2012 and 2013 John
took 6 weeks off to circumnavigate the globe . John with 3 other friends
drove from the UK across Europe and Russia to Vladivostock before
travelling from Alaska to New York.
