PRACTICE mANAGER
ROBBIE DALEY - BMusT, MA Prelim
Robbie was raised on a mixed farming property in Western Australia before moving to Queensland in the 1960's. She married Peter, a veterinarian, and they worked in mixed practice in Gippsland for several years. In 1976 they established a practice in Western Australia which was pre-dominantly equine and cattle work.
For 28 years Robbie managed the veterinary practice as well as helping to run their mixed farming enterprise and Australian Stock Horse Stud (and raise 4 children)! From 1999 to 2003 Robbie studied at the West Australian University - majoring in Musicology.
In 2004 Peter & Robbie sold the veterinary practice and re-located to Pittsworth where they continue to breed Australian Stock Horses and Charolais cattle.
Robbie joined the staff at Equivet Australia as practice manager in 2009 - a role that she continues to enjoy.
ACCOUNTS & PAYROLL OFFICER
LINDY McLOUGHLIN
Lindy grew up on her family’s cattle property at Springsure and some of her earliest memories are of days spent mustering with her Dad and siblings – then later with her own children. She has always maintained her interest in horses and still has a few horses on her small acreage at Southbrook. Lindy enjoys attending various horses events as a spectator, whether it be campdrafting, dressage or showing and has big plans for the future with her latest addition - a little buckskin filly (Gypsy) who was bred at the Equivet Breeding Centre in 2010.
Lindy has been with Equivet since 2002 after relocating from Central Queensland. She began her time here taking care of the mares, and progressed through many roles to her present position as the finance manager. This background means that Lindy is able to assist with your enquiries regarding all aspects of the practice and she is always willing to help.
Lindy is pictured with Lindhaven Gypsy Dancer her part bred Morgan filly who is now three years old. Gypsy has been shown successfully for the past two season - winning champion part bred Morgan mare at the Toowoomba Heritage Royal Show .
ADMINISTRATION / RECEPTION
JANINE COSTIGAN
Janine commenced work in the office at Equivet in June 2012 and since then has become an integral part of our team - cheering us all with her infectious good humour and willingness to assist at all times. She has an extensive backgound in administration having previously worked in government offices and her ability to relate to clients is exceptional.
Janine lives at Westbrook with her husband Greg, dog Lilly Mae, cat Boo and a family of chooks. She particularly enjoys the opportunity to connect with the patients during her days at Equivet, and can often be found visiting mares and their foals with special treats. Janine and little Hope are shown having a quiet moment together. Hope, a miniature foal, and her mum Ebony were resident at Equivet Australia for several months before finding a new home at the Bellamour Foundation where they interact with austistic children.
