Meet the Staff - Sinead Devine, DVM
I was born in Drogheda, Ireland just 6,000 miles away from the Emerald Isle! Summers spent on my Uncle's farm prompted my early love of animals and my decision to become a vet.
I went on to study Veterinary Medicine at University College, Dublin, and spending summer's externing in California at UC Davis & Peninsula Equine. After graduating I spent 4 years working in Portlaoise, but not just with horses but dogs, cats, sheep & plenty of cattle!
This is my second year working here and it is great getting paid to work with horses everyday! The variety of horse breeds & riding disciplines in this area is a constant source of fascination to me.
In Ireland I hunted the incredible "Joker" a ¾ thoroughbred and ¼ Irish Draft with the Laois Foxhounds. We were devoted members of the Dunamaise Riding Club and also competed at hunter trials and show jumping. Now my free time is spent riding, practicing yoga, biking and some choir singing!
