Rachel completed a Neuroscience degree at the University of Edinburgh before going to vet school at the Royal Veterinary College in London. She graduated as a veterinary surgeon in 2009 and then moved to Sydney to undertake an internship at Randwick Equine Centre. She stayed on at the practice following her internship and spent two years doing predominantly race track work. Having been a keen event rider herself, she then developed the sports horse aspect of the practice and completed a residency to become a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation in 2016. She spent another seven years at the practice looking after elite sports horses as well as two leading Sydney racehorse trainers. She has extensive experience in sports horse lameness, rehabilitation and helping to keep horses at peak performance. Rachel moved back to England two years ago to be close to family. She has spoken at international conferences on equine back problems, lameness and rehabilitation and has also published a number of equine research articles in leading journals. Her main interests are lameness, diagnostic imaging and rehabilitation. Rachel is also an FEI treating vet.
