After completing my vet school in Maison-Alfort (Paris, France) in 2003, I did my final year and internship in St hyacinthe, Montreal, Canada. I came back to France to practicein the field (emergencies, reproduction) and went to Argentina to learn embryo transfer on polo mares. 

I decided to complete my education by a residency in internal medicine in St Hyacinthe and was became diplomate of the ACVIL (American College of Veterinary Medicine) and ECEIM (European College of Equine Internal Medicine).

I then worked for large practices in France and Belgium:

• Clinique des Breviaires near Paris, where I practiced equine orthopaedics with Dr Philippe Benoit
• ESMP in belgium with Dr Emmanuelle van Erck: sports medicine, respiratory medicine
• Livet Equine hospital in Normandy: intensive care, neonatalogy

I finally created my own specialist practice, VET INSIDE in 2020. It is an ambulatory referring practice in cardiology, sports medicine, internal medicine, based in France.

Marianne Depecker

I am an equine internal medicine specialist (Dipl ECEIM) vet. I have been working since 2016 in a private practice in the South West of France, near Bordeaux. We handle a wide variety of internal medicine cases, primarily as second opinion but also as first opinion, within a diverse population of horses, ponies and donkeys from all disciplines.
My areas of expertise include respiratory medicine, neurology, endocrinology, neonatalogy and gastroenterology.
I regularly host webinars as part of continuing education for equine and mixed practice veterinarians, and I am a member of the internal medicine committee of the French Association of Equine Practioners (AVEF).

Outside of work Sam is an enthusiastic rugby player and competes at show jumping. Sam was also the first Vet to obtain the RCVS Certificate in Advanced Veterinary Practice – Equine Dentistry. Sam loves teaching people about equine dentistry – so when His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales visited the clinic he took the opportunity to demonstrate how to perform a thorough dental examination.
