Abby Martin

I started riding when I was about 10 years old and was hooked straight away. As soon as I left school I started working as a groom on livery yards and continued freelancing during the last 17 years, managing various equine yards, and assisting people with difficult and young horses as well as anything else they needed along the way. In 2014 I gained experience as a nursing assistant at an equine practice in Essex and in 2016 I completed a level 2 first diploma in Equine Nursing Technician at the Open College of Equine Studies. I joined Blaircourt at their branch clinic at Brook Farm Training Centre in Stapleford Abbotts but now work at both sites and have now finished my nurse training to become a registered veterinary nurse. I thoroughly enjoy being part of a veterinary medical team again. I have a rescue pony called Mavis, who is quite a celebrity in the West Essex area. In my spare time I enjoy going to music concerts.
