internship in the RVC’s Equine Hospital where she gained considerable experience in lameness, diagnostic imaging, medicine and anaesthesia. Since completing the internship in 2014, Sara worked as a veterinary assistant at an equine practice in Buckinghamshire and also returned to the RVC to work in the equine diagnostic imaging suite at the RVC’s Equine Hospital, teaching final year students the art of equine radiography! In the autumn of 2014, Sara joined Kings Bounty Equine Practice and has subsequently shown a clear enjoyment of all aspects of equine veterinary work, currently working towards her Royal College Certificate in Advanced Equine Practice.
Outside of work, Sara likes to let off some steam in the gym or run outside, especially with her little rescue dog! She spent her childhood riding and competing her horse in British Dressage so is hoping to get back in the saddle sometime soon. She also is an extremely keen baker and loves to sing!
Becky Mountfield
Practice Manager
Our Practice Manager, Becky, joined the team in 2015 bringing with her considerable experience in both the financial and equine world. As a long standing and loyal client, having experienced the veterinary ups and downs of owning an orthopaedically challenged horse, Becky is well placed to run the practice, dealing with anything from accounts to insurance claims.
Socially, Becky enjoys spending time with her family and manages to find time to ride her horse and walk her huge Alaskan Malamute “Dakota”.
Emma Brown
Office Administrator
Emma joined the practice in Spring 2020 with a wealth of experience in both the equine industry and finance. She has ridden from a young age and trained for her BHSAI. During her career, Emma worked for an Accountancy firm but upon discovering that she missed the horses too much, she became a SJ groom in the USA for 2 years, travelling to all the major shows. Since then, Emma has combined her experience working within the equine industry in retail, finance and office admin all whilst keeping her hand in grooming! Emma spends her spare time on long country or coastal walks with her dog Dylan and socialising with friends and family.
