One of the top women’s cyclists in Britain, she took up a new sporting challenge of rowing last spring and won the largest single-division sculling head race in the world.

Emilie won the AHDA Cup for overall best SQP student of the year and also the top student award from the independent regulator, the Animal Medicines Training Regulatory Authority. She can now prescribe and dispense all categories of medicines in the farm, equine and companion animal sectors.

Born in Ely, Cambridgeshire, and after returning from Portugal, she helped with the family’s livery yard before going to the Northern Racing College at Doncaster and then becoming a work rider with a leading trainer at Cheltenham.

Having gained a BSc in animal science and applied biology, she worked in microbiology before joining the AtlasFram Group’s purchasing department in 2009.

She enrolled on the SQP course in February and also completed an on-farm assignment with Nick Tibbenham, an AtlasFram member, who farms in the Waveney Valley.
