Dr Lizzie McCready
Horse health / Care
Dr Lizzie began her veterinary career in the UK after graduating from the Royal Veterinary College in London. Initially starting in ambulatory practice, she elected to fast-track her expertise and learn the gold-standard techniques offered by equine veterinary medicine in a busy hospital environment. Here she became passionate about equine emergencies such as colic, wounds and sudden illness.
She learnt the highest standard of horse medical care and decided to take these skills with her to Australia and back out-on-the road as an ambulatory vet. Since 2018 she has lived and worked in the horse-filled areas surrounding Melbourne. During this time, she experienced a high case load of emergencies and saw how the majority of horse owners are poorly prepared for these situations. Therefore, she launched Empowering Equine Education in 2021. A business providing vet-taught training to Horse Owners and Equine Professionals, specializing in the area of Emergency Response. She runs an online course, “The Equine Emergency Response Training” which has been educating owners worldwide. Equipping them with the knowledge and hands-on skills to feel confident and competent when encountered with any emergency scenario.
She has also run multiple in-person workshops in Victoria, Australia. Catering to both adults and young riders. Offering a decade of veterinary experience to the every-day owner. Since 2020 Dr Lizzie has also been working towards her Certification in Veterinary Acupuncture (IVAS). She incorporates seeing patients (Qi Veterinary Services) along with her educational role in the equine industry. Her passion lies in an integrative approach to equine health and long-term wellbeing. Promoting proactive health-care and holistic practices.
