LUCY MILLER BSC (HONS) PGDIP AND MSC NAVP
As a child, my dream was to always work with animals, whether that be large or small. I started working at the age of 14 at a boarding kennels and grooming parlour, where I would spend plenty of weekends and school holidays. In my late teens I worked for a polo player, exercising the horses, as well as stewarding at local horse shows, after all horses had been my lifestyle from as young as 4 years old!
In 2016, I began a BSc (Hons) course in Equine Science at Reaseheath College, into which enabled me to further my passion for horses and widen my knowledge. Here I became interested in injury and rehabilitation and with some research found the MSc Veterinary Physiotherapy course at Harper Adams University. In preparation for successful entry onto the course, I completed many hours of work on a dairy farm milking cows several times a week. Much to my surprise I loved the work, and to this day you will often find me relief milking for a farm in my local village.
In July 2019, shortly after graduating with a first-class honour’s degree in Equine Science, I began my Veterinary Physiotherapy journey at Harper Adams. To give myself the best possible chance of succeeding within the industry, I became a Veterinary Care Assistant in a local Small Animal Hospital enabling me to make connections with local Veterinary Surgeons and other Veterinary professionals ahead of qualifying. 3 years later, having qualified with a PgD and MSc in Veterinary Physiotherapy, I am excited to see what the future holds for my business when incorporating hydrotherapy treatment with land-based physiotherapy treatment
