Veterinary Director, Susanna Ballinger said today: “Andrew and I are thrilled that Eleanor is joining the team at Ballinger Equine. We interviewed extensively for the position and Eleanor not only had a good understanding of the nature of ambulatory practice, but appreciated our very particular values of clinical excellence, integrity and client service.”

Her being a keen equestrian with links to the area is a bonus for her as much as us.
