Dr Dinah Ashley-Cooper MRCVS
Founder and Clinical Director
Dinah graduated in Veterinary Medicine in Germany before completing her doctorate at the Musculoskeletal Research Unit at the University Hospital Zurich, Switzerland.
She has worked across equine and small animal practice, stud medicine, rehabilitation, and performance horse management within both private and commercial settings.
Alongside veterinary practice, Dinah has spent many years producing, training, and managing sport horses and broodmares, giving her a practical understanding of the physical and management demands placed on both competition and breeding horses over the long term.
Her clinical interests focus on objective movement assessment, performance optimisation, rehabilitation support, and minimally invasive therapies including mesotherapy, electroacupuncture, and shockwave therapy. She is particularly interested in identifying subtle changes in comfort, movement, and performance before significant breakdown occurs.
Outside clinical work, Dinah is actively involved in breeding and producing sport horses at St Giles Stud, with particular interests in mare management, young horse development, and equine welfare.
