Campbellville Equine Services enjoys the benefits of a great staff to the help the clients and their owners with health care. I am sure over time you will meet everyone at CES but I have included a brief resume of the members.

Christopher Gaul DVM started the practice with Tina in 1979 in the village of Campbellville. The practice has now grown to about 20 times its original size. Chris graduated from OVC in 1978 and was born in Guelph Ontario. The pleasure and performance horse component of the industry is his greatest interest also  encompassing lamenesses and prepurchase examinations.

Greg Springett DVM   joined us in the spring of 2004. Greg is a graduate of OVC and is originally from Mt Brydges, Ontario.  He enjoys all aspects of equine practice and has a special interest in dentistry.

Ashley Rapson RVT is an registered animal health technician and a lifelong horse owner. These skills obviously combine well in an equine practice. Ashley has been in the office for the last 8 months but will be in the field this spring helping with procedures and treatments. She is very knowlegable in stable management and horse behaviour as well as health care: a good person to help you with questions in these areas. She also oversees coggins, export papers, referrals, labwork.

Tina Gaul  has been involved in the practice on different levels over the years. Also a lifelong horse owner, Tina is a qualified instructor and has a background in animal science. Chris and Tina have a 13yr son David who enjoys computers and cottaging.

Congrats also to Andrea Kelly, our summer 2007 front desk administrator on successfully getting into vet school this past fall and we welcome her back in May for the summer!

Many new farm owners are bewildered by the plethora of free advice that is available. The staff at CES have many years of experience in stable and farm management.  This includes basic information on farm management, nutrition, improvements in pasture, fencing, stabling and footings to improve horse health. Our goal is help the stable or farm owner with information that will help the horse in its environment and function in a very positive way.
