Sam is dedicated to treating each animal as an individual with unique needs. Creating tailored treatment and exercise plans for each animal, resulting in a more effective and efficient treatment regime, taking into account the owners needs in order to create a plan that works for you as well as the animal.

Sam has worked with animals from a young age, working on farms and yards for as long as she can remember. Interacting with working dogs has always been an interest, watching their behaviours and their movements, their agility and speed.

Her love for horses blossomed from a young age, being a part of pony clubs and riding clubs, finding passion in all aspects. Falling in love with every pony that crossed her path, regardless of if they were her own! 

Her true passion was found in watching the ways animals move and function.This of course blossomed and led Sam to Physiotherapy, where this has grown and developed throughout her career.
