Dr Stephanie Brooks
Jonathan Hope Young Equine Veterinarian Scholarship 2021/22

Dr Stephanie Brooks from Matamata Veterinary Services Equine Hospital was awarded the 2021/22 Jonathan Hope Young Equine Veterinarian Scholarship.

Stephanie has a significant interest in equine internal medicine, specifically neonatal foal care. She is a graduate of Sydney University and completed an equine internship at Matamata Veterinary Services Equine Hospital in February 2022.

She used the scholarship to undertake an externship in the UK during their spring season this year and next year she is planning to do a similar externship in America.

Dr Hope established this Scholarship to encourage a New Zealand-based equine veterinarian to travel overseas in order to gain practical skills that will be valuable in their work within the New Zealand horse industry.

NZERF is most appreciative of the financial support we receive from Dr Hope, without which the scholarship would not be available.
