Ainslie
As a local boy born and bred in Fife I attended Bell Baxter High school, Cupar before I qualified from the Royal Dick Veterinary School in 1998.
After qualifying I worked for 2 years in a mixed practice in Wick. I then did locum work in practices in Wales, Derbyshire and Cumbria that treated farm animals, pets and horses.
Being from a farming back ground I am interested in the breeding of animals, including horses. I collect semen from stallions, do Artificial Insemination of mares, assist with foalings and with foal care.
In 2003 I decided to return to my home town to set up Eden Veterinary Practice. I am married to Alex who is also a vet. My hobbies are watching the Howe of Fife Rugby team and helping my brother on the farm especially breeding pedigree Simmental cattle.
Pete Burton
I am originally from Hawick and qualified from Edinburgh university with Ainslie in 1998. Due to my passion for horse work which stems from a childhood of pony-club and riding club in the Scottish Borders I decided to work in solely equine practices. This has taken me to Staffordshire, New Zealand and Yorkshire before settling in Fife. I then returned to work for a year in Staffordshire at a large 18 vet equine practice. But Fife had become home and I was keen to return.
In 2015 I passed my advanced practitioner certification in equine dentistry- which is my passion when not dealing with all other equine ailments!
My free time usually involves dragging children and dogs to the top of a hill, or going to gigs to listen to obscure bands that nobody has heard of!
Hannah
I graduated from Glasgow Vet school in 2008, my first job was in a busy equine practice in Lancashire where I developed interests in stud work and geriatric medicine. I moved back to Scotland in 2013 and was able to continue to expand my interests and develop new skills, particularly in equine dentistry. I joined Eden Vets in January 2022. I am always very patient and calm especially with nervous patients.
Outside of work I am kept busy with my two young daughters and my little dog Ralph.
Sophie
I graduated from the university of Liverpool in 2022. I started work at Eden Vetsafter spending a month at an equine hospital in South Africa that summer.
I have a particural interes in lameness and other poor performance investigations but I also really enjoy the foaling season and all the work that comes with it.
In my spare time I enjoy show jumping and spending time at the yard with my friends.
