Bruce Bladon graduated from Edinburgh University in 1988. He spent one year in mixed practice and then six years in two equine practices, before joining Bristol University as Resident in Equine Surgery. He was awarded the Certificate of Equine Practice in 1992, the Diploma of Equine Soft Tissue Surgery in 1999 and Diploma of the European College of Veterinary Surgeons in 2001. He returned to Donnington Grove Veterinary Group (as it is now) in 1998, and is now a director. He has been recognised as a Specialist in Equine Surgery since 2000, and was awarded Fellowship of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons in 2016. He has lectured extensively, including to the South African, Australian and New Zealand Equine Veterinary Associations, as well as the British, Brazilian, Dutch, Italian and Israeli Equine Veterinary Associations and to the European and American Colleges of Veterinary Surgeons.
Bruce is the principle equine surgeon at Donnington Grove Veterinary Surgery. The practice treats a large number of racing Thoroughbreds, but also has a substantial leisure horse population, including a large referral case load. The practice performs a significant number of scintigraphy bone scans and a very large number of MRI scans, using the Hallmarq® standing low field scanner. Bruce’s key interests are surgery, especially fracture repair and colic surgery, though he undertakes all procedures presented to him. He is also very involved with advanced imaging, particularly MRI. Bruce Bladon was Emergency Services Team Leader at the Rio 2016 Olympics.
Bruce is a (low level) rugby union referee. According to his partners he invests an inordinate amount of time skiing, but his performance remains rather disappointing. He is an effective eco warrior, who drives a zero emissions vehicle (a Tesla). He does not go outside, except in the summertime, and spends his time either in an operating theatre or looking at black and white images.

Pete Ramzan is one of the leading veterinary clinicians of his generation working in Thoroughbred practice. After graduating from the University of Sydney Veterinary School in 1994, he worked a season as a stockman in the Kimberley region of Northern Australia, then moved to the UK and entered veterinary practice. In 1998 he joined Rossdale and Partners, Europe’s largest equine practice, and commenced a distinguished career that encompasses first opinion work in Newmarket racing yards and pre-purchase consultancy across northern and southern hemispheres.

For many years he combined this with specialist equine dentistry and was a founding Diplomate of the EVDC(Equine). He has a strong interest in advancing the science and practice of racehorse sports medicine and has drawn on busy clinical practice to inform academic research and drive innovation in many fields, publishing a large number of peer-reviewed papers and regularly contributing to scientific symposia and industry advisory boards. He is a previous recipient of BEVA’s Richard Hartley Clinical Award and in 2018 was awarded Fellowship of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) for Meritorious Contributions to Clinical Practice.
