Hello, I'm Dr Lizzie McCreadyÂ
Equine Veterinarian and Educator
I teach horse owners the practical knowledge and skills that turn uncertainty into confident action - so you know what to check, what it means, and what to do next.
My mission here is empowerment - so you can give your horse the best possible care, from routine health checks to emergency first aid.
If you've ever had that sinking feeling of "Something's not quite right... but I don't know what to check," you're in the right place.
I'm not here to turn you into your horse's vet. I'm here so you can confidently assess what's happening, take the right first steps, and make better decisions - faster.
If this sounds familiar...
You love your horse deeply and emergencies are the part you quietly dread.
You second-guess yourself: “Am I overreacting? Or missing something important?”
You freeze under pressure, or your brain goes blank the moment something feels urgent.
You’re not sure what “normal” actually is for your horse (so it’s hard to spot how serious it is).
You’ve felt the stress of waiting - for a callback, for a float, for a vet who’s stretched thin.
My work exists for those moments.
Because when you're equipped with the knowledge and skills to assess and respond, everything changes: your confidence, next steps, and ability to help your horse.
The Experience Behind What I Teach
I’m not sharing theory from a textbook - I’m sharing what I’ve learned through a decade in clinical practice, and what I’ve seen horse owners need most.
- Equine vet, graduated with Honours from The Royal Veterinary College (London)
- Worked in a world class equine hospital in the UK alongside specialists at Bell Equine Veterinary Clinic
- A decade in equine practice across the UK and Australia
- Further training in Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine & Acupuncture (IVAS, 2020-2022)
- Educated 12,000+ horse owners through online programs, free masterclasses, workshops, and events
- Speaker at EQUITANA, presenter at The Online Horse Fair and featured on multiple podcasts
But most importantly: I care deeply about making this knowledge practical and accessible in real life - so you can actually help your horse when it matters most.
The Short Version Of My Story
Horses have been part of my life since childhood when I got Muffin, a cheeky Welsh pony. I grew up in Pony Club, in the daily rhythm of feeding, caring, competing, and doing my best for the horses I loved.
We had our fair share of emergencies and first aid situations - from colic, to wounds, to lameness, and loss.
I always knew I wanted to be a vet - and when I stepped into clinical practice, I saw two things clearly:
-
Emergencies happen more often than most people expect.
-
Most owners haven’t been taught what to do in those first critical moments.
And that’s not a criticism - it’s a gap in education.
Then in 2021, I experienced what many vets do: burnout. During the pandemic, I reached a physical breaking point and needed spinal surgery for a herniated disc. I had months to reflect while recovering.
That’s when the question that changed everything landed:
What if I could help horses far beyond the ones I can physically treat - by teaching owners the skills that prevent panic, reduce trauma, and improve outcomes?
That became my mission.
And it’s why Empowering Equine Education - and my signature Equine Emergency Training - were born.
I’d love to welcome you into this community.
If being prepared feels important - not in a perfectionist way, but in a peace-of-mind way - you’re who I created this for.

You and your horse deserve steadiness in the moments that matter - and you don’t have to do it alone.
Wishing you and your horse the best of health,
Dr Lizzie
