Billy Fitzgerald
Undergrad Scholarship Recipient 2018

Billy had limited opportunities with horses prior to attending Massey University, but his exposure to the equine industry during his studies sparked his determination to succeed in equine practice.

He finds the diversity of the profession, the challenge of maintaining the health and athleticism of horses, and the opportunity to work within a competitive sporting environment to be key contributing factors that led him to develop an affinity towards the equine industry.

Billy has sought out opportunities to immerse himself in the industry and has worked part-time at a stud and racing stable.

Billy’s report “A case of nephro-splenic entrapment” was published in the Spring 2019 NZERF Bulletin.
