This consisted of consulting in the mornings followed by horse visits. He set up Sound Equine in August 2004. Since then the office has moved around various sites until Chris bought Castlevets with Emma and Ian in August 2008. The office is now located at their main branch, Grazeley vets in Farnborough. Chris’s main interests are lameness and performance with a special bias towards polo ponies. He has recently been asked to perform a series of lectures on topics which include neurology, lameness evaluation, ultrasonography and the diagnosis of soft tissue back disease. He is absolutuely commited to providing the best possible care to his clients and is always available to speak to clients.
