The Team

Urs grew up as a farmer’s son in Switzerland. He qualified from Vet School in Leipzig, Germany, in 2000.
Before joining Colin Sutherland in 2005 he worked in 2 positions as a Farm Animal and Equine Assistant.
He really enjoys both aspects of the daily Large Animal work; working closely together with farmers on their herd health and also being challenged on the Equine side.
Since October 2008 he and Sabine have been Partners in Cheviot Vets.
Sabine Schaeli Dr Med Vet MRCVS
Sabine qualified from Vet School in Leipzig, Germany in 2000.
After completing her doctoral thesis at the University of Berne, Switzerland, she started her first job in a busy small animal practice in Suffolk.
3 children and 2 part time positions in small animal practices later, she and Urs bought Cheviot Vets and then started setting up the new small animal part of the practice.
Colin Sutherland BVMS CertEquineStudMedicine MRCVS
Colin graduated from Edinburgh a long time ago; worked in farm & horse practice ever since; and is now gracefully bowing out.

Anna Rodwell
Anna was born and bred in the Borders. Originally from Morebattle, she presently lives in Hownam with her husband Damon and her four unruly but gorgeous children!
She's loving the opportunity to make forays into England to work in Powburn, and stunned on a daily basis by how beautiful the country is - in fact, it’s so bonny it could be Scotland!
They are are joined in their little piece of paradise by two dogs, a cat, a horse and a donkey.
Sandra Jobson
Animals have been a large part of Sandra's life from a very early age, having dogs, cats, rabbits and guinea pigs while growing up, and owning all types of horses from her late teens.
She has worked with various types of horses including event, race and dressage.
Bobbie Smart
Northumberland born and bred from Corbridge. After a career in Biomedical Sciences working for the NHS for 37 years, I returned to live my life out in Northumberland surrounded by the glorious countryside of Coquet Valley and the friendship of its Community.
