Sara Horner (BA) Hons grew up with horses and spent much of her childhood on the yard or by the track watching her grandfather race. Her introduction to riding was to be plonked on top of a Connemara pony as soon as she could walk and her love of horses has never left since that day! As Communications Specialist with Hallmarq Veterinary Imaging for over 13 years, she brings together a passion for horses and words to create content for both vets and owners. In encouraging conversations around horse health and lameness, she aims to help horse owners feel more confident in what their seeing and how to discuss that for the results they need.
