Patrick graduated from Onderstepoort in 1999 and moved to the UK where he managed a successful Equine Sports Horse practice, until 2014. The lure of South Africa was too great so Patrick decided to return to his roots, where he joined our Baker McVeigh team in Summerveld, in 2015. He has brought his international experience to KwaZulu-Natal and still travels regularly, treating horses from all equine disciplines, both locally and internationally. Patrick became a partner at Baker McVeigh Summerveld in March 2019.
