☀️This is not goodbye - it is simply see you soon....
Farewell to our fearless leader & founder Dr Bridget Bester 🐴
Officially saying farewell to an exceptional veterinarian, leader, mentor and friend, Dr Bridget Bester, as she closes an important chapter with Hunter Equine Centre.
In 2018, Bridget turned her vision into reality by founding Hunter Equine Centre with a commitment to providing outstanding equine veterinary care and exceptional service to clients. Through her dedication, expertise and unwavering pursuit of excellence, she built a practice respected throughout the equine industry.
Bridget's passion has always extended beyond clinical practice. She has generously shared her knowledge by mentoring veterinarians, supporting the wider equine community, volunteering overseas, and serving as a Board Member of RDA. Her leadership has inspired those around her to continually learn, grow and strive for excellence.
One of Bridget's greatest achievements was guiding Hunter Equine Centre into its next chapter through its acquisition by Apiam Animal Health. She carefully chose a partner that shared the values upon which the practice was built, ensuring its culture, commitment to quality care and dedication to clients would continue long into the future.
On behalf of everyone whose lives and careers you have touched, thank you, Bridget, for your vision, leadership, generosity and friendship. Your legacy will continue through the practice you created and the people you have inspired.
We wish you every success and happiness in your next adventure. Thank you for everything you have given to Hunter Equine Centre and the equine community. 🐴😘
HUNTER EQUINE CENTRE will continue to develop & prosper under the strong foundation that Bridget has founded and we look forward to our continued future.
