EQUINE vet Tim Adams has returned to the Bude and Holsworthy area, joining Penbode Equine Vets.

Tim worked in mixed practice in this area from 2005-2007, before pursuing a specialised equine career at The Barn Equine Surgery, Dorset, for the last four years.

In 2007, Tim was instrumental in the establishment of the British Equine Veterinary Association (BEVA) emergency services protocol after an incident involving his own horse. As such, he gave a presentation to an invited audience at Buckingham Palace.
