About Us

Island Equine Vets was established in 2022 as the first and only dedicated equine veterinary practice in the Channel Islands. From our base in St Martin in Jersey, we provide a full complement of equine services with a focus on providing top level veterinary care whilst maintaining the friendly and personal feel of a small independent practice.

“We offer a friendly face when you most need it.”

RO WOOD, FOUNDER

Team

Roisin Wood

BSc(Hons) BVetMed MRCVS, Director and Veterinary Surgeon

Ro moved to Jersey in 2015 following a brief stint in Guernsey and quickly fell in love with the sense of community and beautiful coastline, making it her permanent home.

Ro is an incredibly passionate vet and has worked tirelessly since her arrival on the island to improve the standards of veterinary care offered to local horse owners. Recognising the need for a dedicated equine practice, Ro established Island Equine Vets in 2022 with a commitment to providing a caring, personal service to every equine whilst maintaining extremely high clinical standards. Ro has a special interest in lameness and poor performance work ups.

Ro lives in St Martin with her partner and young son, and is often seen out and about at riding events with her lovely horse Limbo.

Ro is the most compassionate lady who is invested in each animal she cares for. She is always at the end of a phone for advice and support, always going the extra mile.

Ro is so dedicated and passionate about her work - and has proved it to me, over and over again. All I can say, is she always goes above and beyond. She really is a one in a million vet.

Signing your horse up to Ro’s care is the best thing you’ll ever do for them. Ro is so thorough, so compassionate, brilliant and fearless in an emergency, tenacious and analytic in resolving chronic issues.

Ro has great communication skills and takes time to explain her assessments, the care delivered and any follow-up treatment, making you feel reassured and well-informed. I would not hesitate in recommending her.

Ro always provides a very clear plan of action for any scenario, which provides you with so much comfort and support. Ro feels the wins with you, and supports you through the lows.
