Angela Walsh (Director)
MRCVS BVMS Cert AVP
Since qualifying at Glasgow University I have always mainly been interested in equine medicine. I have just been awarded a Cert AVP from Liverpool University after three extra years of studying Equine Medicine and find that it has increased my enjoyment in dealing with everyday cases.
I have recently bought a young Irish draft horse that I intend to compete at dressage when time allows!

Laura Laurence
MRCVS
Laura hails from Madrid and worked initially for 18 months at Three Counties Equine Hospital. There she was responsible for in-patient care and general anaesthetics. After this Laura worked with a specialist racehorse vet in the Cotswolds who travelled all over the country looking after top racehorses; Laura learned lots there about how things work in the racing industry and so she has been able to update us on the use of shockwave and laser therapy for soft tissue injuries.
Laura plays tennis with her boyfriend when she’s not at work and travels to and from Madrid when time allows!
Claire Black
MRCVS
Claire joined us recently after working in a big equine clinic in Staffordshire. She hails from Ireland where her parents train and breed race horses, so she could ride before she could walk! She is studying for a certificate at the moment which takes up an awful lot of time but hopes to get back into riding and hunting soon!
Kat Jackson
MRCVS
Kat joined us in April 2021 from Spring Paddocks in Leamington. She has an interest in lameness and poor performance and as she’s a local lass she has no problem finding her way around!
Jane Furber
Office Manager
I have been the office manager at Corner House Equine Clinic since 2005. I enjoy my strange mixture of duties which include answering the telephone & making appointments, doing the accounts and checking in blood & faecal samples!
I enjoy going on holiday, eating out and country walks (only in warm weather!)
Harriet Russell
EVN HEAD NURSE
Harriet otherwise known as Pond joined us in 2019 to be our new head nurse. She’s good and bossy which is the top requirement as she needs to organise the vets, hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of equipment, prepare horses for surgery, make sure there’s always enough stock on the shelves and then get home in time to ride!
Hayley Woodward
Hayley is studying to become a vet nurse so combines uni life with everything from lungeing to mucking out to setting up expensive equipment and answering the phone !
Claire Lampitt
Claire runs our Romsley office and has many years of experience in the equine veterinary world. In her spare time she runs her livery yard, rides her cob and trains her rescue dog to be able to compete in ‘Scrufts’!
Dawn Hawkins
Dawn joined us in June 2021 to do reception duties but she will occasionally be seen out the back mucking out or helping to load a horse that just doesn’t want to go home .
She has a background as a showjumping groom followed by many years as an office administrator so you could say she was cut out for the job!
Aly Handford
Aly joined us at the end of 2018, she can be found either in the office speeding around or in the stables speeding around! Aly worked at a big vets in Solihull for twenty years so she’s used to knowing what clients need and expect.
Aly has a collection of horses and manages to fit in competing, teaching and taking her daughter to competitions, so we are lucky she has time to work at all!
