Veterinary Thermal Imaging (VTI) is delighted to welcome Laura Ball to its team of thermographers. Laura is based in Lancashire and will be covering Lancashire and the Greater Manchester area.
Laura has been involved with horses for most of her life, having owned a vast array of equines from a Welsh cob to an Arab stallion. At present, Laura owns a 4 year old Dutch bred KWPN and 17 year old Holstein. Through owning these horses, Laura has developed a keen interest in lameness issues, particularly the management of arthritis through rehabilitation and fitness. In Laura’s junior years, she trained under the direction of Christopher Bartle and competed up to Elementary level dressage. She now trains with a BD listed instructor and is studying for a BSc (Hons) in Equine Science. In addition to horses, Laura also has a passion for companion animals and, although she’d say she was a ‘cat person’, owns a Japanese Akita. Laura’s career to date has been predominantly legal, as she’s has worked as a Chartered Legal Executive in a globally renowned law firm for many years, and has a particular passion for equine law related matters.
“I'm both proud and excited to have joined the VTI team and greatly look forward to working with the most technologically advanced thermal imaging equipment available, having received industry leading training,” says Laura. “Through working in conjunction with a wide variety of professionals in the animal industry, I hope to assist clients across all species to better diagnose, treat and rehabilitate, where injury or illness is present. With the ultimate end result being a pain free and happy animal.”
“We’re delighted to have Laura as part of our team,” says Helen Morrell, Managing Director of VTI. “With such an impressive equestrian background and a passion for dogs and cats too, we know that she’ll get on well with all the animals that our service images. Having Laura positioned in Lancashire means that customers in the surrounding area will now be able to enjoy reduced travel fees, making thermal imaging by VTI even more affordable.”
VTI is an all species thermal imaging service that covers the UK. Although the majority of the team’s work focuses on horses and companion animals, the technology can also be applied to farm animals and zoo animals. Prices start from £30 plus travel.
