Sam graduated from the University of Edinburgh in 2013. After undertaking an internship at the University of Cambridge Equine Hospital she spent 8 years as a first opinion ambulatory equine vet, during which time she completed a certificate in equine medicine.

She also really enjoys polo work and has a particular interest in corneal endothelial disease and uveitis in polo ponies.
