Joe is a graduate of University College Dublin and has been a veterinarian for more than 30
years. He spent the 昀椀rst 20 years as an equine clinician, mainly in private practice but with
an equine residency at Cambridge University in the middle. Joe completed two RCVS clinical
certi昀椀cates and thought he knew it all! A PhD in equine welfare, supported by World Horse
Welfare, following by a research project and employment with The Donkey Sanctuary opened
his eyes to how little true regard he had sometimes given to the sentience and welfare of
the equines under his care, and he winces to recall how ignorant he had been when treating
donkeys in particular.
