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, and is also working for Audevard, one of the good guys sponsoring the tour!
Topics of interest include all aspects of equine practice and equine medicine. For Audevard she has been looking into the uses of bisphosphonates and gathering information from UK vets about their experiences with this.

Outside of work she enjoys walking her dog Trixy in the fantastic countryside, kitesurfing at the local beaches and of course riding her bike. 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.
