Veterinary Physiotherapist 

Layla Maidment PGDip VetPhys., BSc (Hons) 

​

Having always been passionate about animals from a young age I knew my career path had to follow suit. At aged 11 I had my first riding lesson and from that point I was hooked. I dedicated myself to my lessons and caring for the horses, this led me to loaning my first horse and competing at the Pony Club National Championships to come 5th.

​

In 2014 I started my BSc in Animal Science at Canterbury Christ Church University where I completed my undergraduate with a 1st class degree. During this time I competed at BUCS competitions and captained the team for two years, this experience gave me in-depth knowledge of how each horse is really an individual.

​

Knowing my strong points revolved around biology specifically anatomy and physiology I discovered MSc Veterinary Physiotherapy course at Writtle University College, and I knew straight away this was the direction career path was headed. 

During my time at University I started working at The Horse Trust with 150 horses. The majority of them being retired working horses, this role gave me a wealth of knowledge and understanding of equine disorders and injuries.
