Sally Richards

Sally is now an experienced hydrotherapist and one of the directors at Active Equine. In her spare time, she enjoys running the dogs, hacking, and doing a bit of dressage on retired schoolmaster KEC Joel.

Georgia Farley

Georgia joined the team in September 2023 as part of her placement year for her veterinary physiotherapy degree at Harper-Adams University. Georgia has been a huge asset to the team, bringing her fabulous work ethic and sense of humor to work every day. We hope that our placement students get the opportunity to learn both about rehabilitation and performance sports during their time with us and would welcome any prospective placement students to apply by contacting us.
