Mike became a partner of the practice in 1997 and a clinical director in 2021. From April 2016 until July 2023, he also served as Managing Partner and as Managing Clinical Director of Rossdales.
Mike graduated from Massey University in New Zealand in 1987. He subsequently worked in mixed rural practice for 2 seasons. He travelled to the UK after acting as vet on a boat to Thailand, where he was responsible for the veterinary care of cattle, horses and camels. On arrival in the UK, he worked through various locum positions before joining the Rossdales horses in training team in September 1991. He is also a member of our bloodstock sales team.
Mike is particularly interested in lameness and diagnostic imaging. He has organised the successful BEVA Musculoskeletal Ultrasound course for a number of years (this course celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2013, making it one of the longest-running equine CPD courses).
