Selain bisa sekedar nunggang kuda ataupun tracking tentunya pekerjaan yang menarik lainnya yaitu
Menyiapakan operasi kuda
Merawat dan memonitor kuda sakit
Melakukan pengujian di lab
Melakukan pengobatan di bawah supervisi dokter
Hayo siapa yang berminat?
As you will know this May we are celebrating Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month and applaud all our nurses for the great work and dedication they put into our practice.
Today we would like to introduce you to Paige who is our Deputy to Head Nurse, Qualified Equine Nursing Technician and Pharmacy/Lab Manager.
Paige started as a stable hand at Newnham Court Equine 4 and half years ago and through hard work and dedication, she worked her way up to be Deputy to our Head Nurse, studied and qualified as an Equine Nursing Technician and took on the important role of Pharmacy/Lab manager.
As an equine veterinary nurse, every day you are likely to be involved in a variety of different aspects of horse care, from assisting a veterinary surgeon in theatre to mucking out and feeding horses. Other tasks you may be involved in include:
๐ด Preparing horses for surgery
๐ด Nursing sick and intensive care horses
๐ด Running tests on lab machines
๐ด Attending emergency calls (any time, day or night, weekday or weekend)
๐ด Administering medication under veterinary supervision.
We asked Paige some questions in aid of VN Awareness Month, here is what she had to say.

I love my job! Not only being around different horses and donkeys every day but caring for their needs when they need us and being able to see the end result of them getting to go home and be with their owners again, being happy and healthy again. But itโs not always so easy, we certainly have our days when we can also feel upset and emotionally attached to the horses and donkeys in our care.

Well I certainly have too many to tell, but we will be here all day otherwise, haha! An emergency call to an Impaled fence post through a shire horse on her abdomen, which required about 10 people to keep her settled (with drugs onboard), and trying to keep the wound as sterile as we could to be able to stitch her up and get her safely to the clinic for emergency surgery. I also enjoy seeing pre-season breeding scans and the progress of artificial insemination (AI) work in horses.
