| Sydney Free is the local equestrian hub where many horsey people bump into each other whilst shopping. Our customers come in to look at show schedules, place adverts for horses, livery yards, teaching, ask for advice, get all kinds of things repaired and know that they can rely on us to be impartial, helpful and knowledgable about the products we sell. For this reason we decided to support you and the local equestrian community with this simple newsletter publication. Working closely with our 8 wonderful column writers we will be covering a diverse range of equestrian interests over the next 12 months. |

Emma Tomlinson MA VetMB MRCVS
We will be running multi-part papers written by Emma.
Emma studied at Magdalene College at the University of Cambridge receiving a BA Honours 1993-1996 and a Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine 1996-1999.??Most of Emma's early veterinary career was spent in equine practice working for Buffy Shirley-Bevan, one of the UK's foremost equine vets, specialising in top class racehorses, and all other types of sports horses. During the summer Emma covers most of the veterinary work at the Beaufort Polo Club as well as running Beaufort Embryo Transfer. Emma spends some of the winter in Argentina vetting horses for European buyers.
It was whilst working in Argentina that Emma met Fernando Riera who is recognised as being the top embryo transfer vet in the world. She appreciated how well the process worked under his auspices and was immediately inspired to try this method of breeding back in the UK, with his expert advice and guidance. Up to this point vets had not been too successful in the UK as they lacked the necessary experience and did not have access to the level of recipient herd that is required. Emma immediately recognised that embryo transfer was a fabulous way of breeding from active Sport Horses without having to interfere with their competitive programme, at the same time allowing important bloodlines to continue at the very highest level.??Emma invited Fernando to help pioneer the first commercial embryo transfer breeding programme of its kind in the UK. Having started with polo ponies the business now encompasses most equine disciplines.
