Dr Sanne Wilmink
DVM CertAVP MRCVS

Sanne graduated in 2009 from Utrecht University in the Netherlands and after an internship at an equine hospital in the Netherlands moved to the UK to embark on an Equine Medicine residency at the University of Bristol. Enjoying the English countryside and windy beaches, she decided not to go back to the Netherlands. Since completion of this residency she has been combining first opinion work at two practices in the Southwest of England with work as technical adviser for a small pharmaceutical company. She is now fulltime back in equine first opinion practice in Devon.

Topics of interest include all aspects of equine practice and equine medicine. 

Outside of work she enjoys walking in the fantastic countryside, kitesurfing at the local beaches and of course riding her bike. She first learned to ride a motorbike in Kathmandu. She first met up with the Horsepower team in 2012 and joined them for part of the journey then. Ever since, she has been keen to 'properly' join the team and help support the good causes and rejoined the group in 2017.
