A bit about me...

Terri Irvine (known as Tez) is from the heart of the North Island in New Zealand, the Waikato. She was born and raised on a farm growing up milking cows and riding horses. Terri has been so fortunate to have been presented with so many great learning and life opportunities that she has now fallen completely in love with Yorkshire. At the age of 16 she left her small town to head to America where she spent two years training horses before returning back to NZ and had the privilege to work across a variety of different agricultural environments which is where she developed her passion for animal health and husbandry.

In her spare time she is a keen adventurer and loves going on walks with her dog Ken. Terri enjoys a quiet pint on a Friday and she is always keen to make new friends!
