Raphael S. Warner M.V.B. M.R.C.V.S. Rafe views continuing education as a vital part of progress, and has to date completed many visits to top conferences with highlights such as The Newmarket Stud Medicine Veterinary course, two visits to the major North American Veterinary Conference in Orlando, Florida (some 10, 000 vets attending this mainly companion animal conference from all over the world), and most recently the World Veterinary S.A. Conference hosted by the Irish Veterinary fraternity in Ballsbridge, Dublin (an incredible experience!). In his spare time Rafe enjoys family time and all sports (still struggles to play golf and tennis and jog!) and also enjoys looking after the family pets, Sherpa the Leonberger dog, Ruby the killer cat and an eclectic cluster of exotic hens and roosters, and not forgetting his hobby as a small breeder of thoroughbred racehorses. Years ago he had a lot of fun with Hollybank Buck, the famous local racehorse .
