Inglemere Equine is tribute to my roots, shaped by the people and places that have influenced me on my journey.

"Ingle" honours my maternal grandfather, Arthur Inglis. The Inglis side of my family has always had a deep connection with horses. From a young age, my grandfather cherished the opportunity to be around horses, even tack walking police horses in Windsor, ON as a youngster. Throughout my childhood, I was fortunate to have the unwavering support of my entire family (parents, cousins, aunts and uncles), scattered across the country, who encouraged my passion for horses. Inglewood, my aunt and cousin’s former farm in New Brunswick, left a lasting impression on me and greatly influenced my equestrian development. Grampy's support, coupled with the values he instilled in us all – hard work, integrity, mastery, and resilience – have played a vital role in bringing Inglemere Equine Veterinary Services to life.

"Mere" draws inspiration from the farm names I often encountered in the Maritimes and the UK. During my time at veterinary school in Prince Edward Island, I had the privilege of working at Woodmere Farm, a breathtaking breeding farm owned by Wally at the time and now by his son, Bruce Wood. Bruce and Wally not only employed and treated me like family for all four years I was on the Island, but also gifted me with the opportunity of getting to try procedures and treatments for the first time on their animals. Exploring the tradition of farm names, I discovered that "Mere" in Old English refers to sea or a lake and is often associated with places near bodies of water. In keeping with my intention to honor my roots and my deep affection for water, "Mere" became the perfect suffix.

Inglemere, to me, is a name that embraces my journey and honours all those who have supported my growth.
