She was also privileged to ride in the York Macmillan Charity Race in June 2015 raising over £4,000 for the charity.

Martin joined the Oaklands Veterinary Centre as an Equine Nursing assistant in 2004 following a career at the Mary Reveley School of racing. He has vast equine experience and is a valuable member of the team. Martin is our resident ‘West End’ Critic as he spends a lot of his spare time in the capital attending the shows. When he’s not at work or away he likes to spend time supporting his team, ‘the Boro’ and attending comedy nights and stand up (this is also the source of his many one liners!).
