We are very fortunate to be able to introduce you to Jessica Rees who we are proud to welcome into our equine team.

Jess qualified from Edinburgh University in 2003 and went straight to the Three Counties Equine Hospital (Kearns & Rea) to take up a position as house surgeon.  She then went on to become an assistant veterinary surgeon until 2007.  During this time Jess was responsible for in-patient care, anaesthesia, neonatal intensive care, care of post-operative surgical cases and stud medicine.

In 2007 Jess moved to a first opinion equine practice in Yorkshire before moving back to the area and taking up our offer of a position at Woodlands!

Lameness evaluation, preventative medicine of the older equine patient and poor performance investigation are all areas of particular interest to Jess, as well as carrying out all routine procedures.

In her spare time Jess is a keen competitor in team chases, showing, show jumping and cross country on her 17.3hh ex-racehorse 'Ned'.  She recently qualified for the RoR ex-racehorse performance national finals at the Hunter Show of GB  held at Addington.  She also enjoys walking her jack russell terrier 'Oscar'. Other interests include eating out and skiing.

Jess's partner Adrian is a manager for Arena Leisure and works at racecourses all around the UK so she enjoys going racing as often as she is able.

We are very excited about having such a respected vet as part of our teaam and are confident that you will reap the benefits of her experience as part of our expanding practice.
