Our Team
Dr Oliver Siddons BVetMed MRCVS
Director & lead veterinary surgeon
Oliver studied at the Royal Veterinary College and went on to train with leading sports-horse and racehorse vets in Lambourn, Berkshire, before moving to north-Oxfordshire in 2021. Here he has offered a comprehensive equine ambulatory service throughout Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Northamptonshire focussing on poor performance investigations and sports horse medicine, complex endocrine conditions, foot lameness and diagnostic imaging. Oliver is currently completing his Certificate in Advanced Veterinary Practice in Large Animal Diagnostic Imaging such that he can further his understanding and research in this field.
Emily Bragg
Veterinary assistant
Emily joined us as a veterinary assistant with a background in Equine Business Management, having studied at Hartpury College for 2 years. She has extensive experience working with horses across all levels on various yards, giving her a strong understanding of equine care and handling. She particularly enjoys being out on visits, supporting the vets with a variety of procedures, from joint medication to X-rays and endoscopy. Being hands-on and working closely with both horses and clients is the part of the role she finds most rewarding. Outside of work she enjoys riding and spending time with her dressage horse Benny.
Mr Henry Pearson BVetMS MRCVS
Assistant veterinary surgeon
Henry graduated from Harper Keele Veterinary School where he spent significant time working with specialist sports-horse vets developing a keen interest for equine sports medicine. Having been involved in the local farming world for many years he is equally confident with livestock work and is always happy to offer advice to small holders about their animal’s husbandry and health. In his spare time he enjoys keeping fit, getting outdoors and some down time with a good book.
