He feels that Welfare Assessment has given him a good opportunity to learn more about animal psychology: “I have entered the animals’ mind and learnt more about how they see us (people)” He enjoys the fact that working in Welfare Assessment gives him the opportunity to combine his love of working with equines with travel and meeting new people.   

Ahmed Abdou joined the Brooke in July 2005 having qualified as a vet in 2002. He enjoys being part of the Welfare Assessment team as he feels that this is the first step in helping working animals as it identifies the major welfare issues which then enables appropriate interventions to be developed. Being part of the team has helped him gain a lot of experience in animal handling and improved his planning skills.
