Equine - Meet the Team

	Linda Belton - BVSc MRCVS I qualified from the University of Bristol Vet School in 1991 and started working in Hampshire. I joined the George Veterinary Group in October 1992, becoming a partner in 2001. The George Veterinary Group Equine Clinic has continued to expand, providing high quality veterinary care to horses throughout Wiltshire and Gloucestershire. I am delighted that we are now able to further extend our work with our new base in Pewsey. Belmont House Equine Clinic offers a dedicated local equine practice to care for your horses. I write an equine veterinary column for Horse Magazine and also write for our local equestrian newspaper Saddle Up. We also produce a quarterly magazine aimed at younger riders offering advice and information about horse health. This is distributed for free through local equestrian outlets and via our surgeries. I have been a keen rider for a number of years, competing in various disciplines and having a lot of fun! As well as my own two horses, I now have children with ponies. Looking after and competing ponies is possibly more work than the horses! I enjoy all aspects of my veterinary work, with a special interest in equine lameness and poor performance, two areas which often go hand in hand. I also do a lot of equine dentistry as correct dental care is vital to a horse’s digestion and performance. As a practice, we also enjoy hosting lectures and demonstrations for horse owners on veterinary health care and have extended this service to various summer riding and pony club camps.
	Ali Mead - BVetMed MRCVS Ali qualified from London in 1980. After working in Kent and Australia she joined the practice in 1985. Ali works solely with horses and is experienced in all aspects of equine practice. Her main interests include equine lameness.
	Tom Hunton BVSc MRCVS I qualified from Bristol University Vet School in 2005 and have previously worked in equine practices in Newcastle, Essex and Yorkshire. My particular veterinary interests include breeding and all aspects of lameness work. Outside of work I spend my time running marathons (and moaning about injuries), riding my coloured cob (Bunty), watching Sheffield United (unfortunately) and chasing after my very energetic two-year old son (Matthew)!
	Sarah Keightley - BVM&S MRCVS Sarah qualified from Glasgow Vet School in 2007 and has moved from working in equine practice in Staffordshire. As well as being a skilled and experienced horse vet she has great empathy and is very friendly and approachable whilst remaining extremely professional. Sarah is interested in all areas of equine work with a particular interest in lameness and care of the older horse.
	Jennie and Jo Run the equine office providing all the administrative support for the equine clinic. You may also meet Jennie at the clinic in Garsdon where she assists the vets with in-patient care.
