DAY IN THE LIFE OF A VET STUDENT AND EQUESTRIAN

[@AM-bs8xu]

This video was really interesting!! would you maybe consider making it into a series and doing more "day in the lifes"? Also a question for your questions video: how do you balance horses, social life and college, seeing as studying to be a vet is quite a difficult course?

[@pascale8597]

Great video, I loved it! It is excatly the type of veterinarian video I was looking for! Could you do more please? I actually want to become a vet as well, but it is so hard to be accepted in the program where I live...

[@barrel_racer1024]

Fiona is so pretty!😍❤️🐴

[@lemonkid180]

This was enjoyable to watch because I am also a veterinary student but my classes are online and I don't get to work with my horse all that often... but its fun to watch others have fun on their life adventures!

[@chelseabartlett5520]

Yes!! More of this type of videos please!

[@aoifemurphy4507]

Please post the video on how you got in and what subjects you did for the LC!!!!! I'm in TY and am dying to know all about it as I have my mind set on studying veterinary at UCD when I'm done secondary school

[@catherinekelly4526]

Are vet interviews as scary as they seem? How did you balance horses and getting good grades to get in? Did you do any work experience before applying? X Fiona looks so good! This was a really interesting video 💙

[@helenahusky2787]

I loved this video....you'll make a great vet Holly..and all the very best🍀🍀

[@evafreeman5546]

What got you interested in veterinary in the first place? What year of uni are you in and what are your exams like, as in are they multiple choice or a written format and how often do you have them? Loved this vid x

[@Patti-1962]

This video is SO informative! Especially in showing your very full schedule. Fiona has REALLY filled out now that you have her close by. My contribution to Holly and her horses? NOT skippping any ads....

[@rachelbea9042]

Watching this when I should be doing my essay 😂 Loved this video 👌 Should definitely do more of them in the further

[@katlyn_marie55]

Loved this video, I was always hoping you'd film a day in my life type of video! Film some more of these!!

[@emma123_x8]

Your such a lovely person!! I love all your videos.... 😍😍😍

[@EgynyeregbenVELEM]

This video was lovely! Moree pls

[@quirkybird4947]

This is great!! You're a lovely young lady and you'll make a terrific vet. Always enjoy watching your stuff ❤😘xxx

[@coraliesentch2063]

Really really enjoyed this ‘day in the life....’ video !! Could definitely watch loads more 😀👍🏻👏🏻 Fiona is looking amazing and seems to have adjusted well to her new surroundings too 🥰

[@zeynambengue8021]

This is amazing!!❤️my dream is to be an Equine surgeon.Good luck at college & with Fiona!!!❤️❤️

[@furrymonsters4337]

I would have loved to study this but one requires a remarkable level of intelligence for such an important career. Sadly I am a simple minded woman who took a very different career path but animals, dogs and horses are very much a large part of my life. I really enjoyed this vlog Holly, believe it or not it was interesting. Best of luck with your studies and exams xx

[@LilSmufie]

I love that even on the other side of the world, vet students are all the same - you guys seem just like as my group of vet friends! Really cool video. At around 3:40, is the word document answering learning objectives or do you study via answering questions relating to the lecture? Do they give you practice questions? It looks interesting! Love the yard too x

[@sofiamorris5185]

Loved this! Would adore a vet series!

[@poppymercer984]

Love this so much Fiona is absolutely gorgeous and her jumping is sooooooo good she looks really careful over all the fences😍😍 Also do you have any study tips (particularly for a procrastinator like myself😂)? x

[@mickyms3999]

Poppy Mercer planning! I haaaaaatteeee studying biggest procrasinator here. ) but plan your time in advamce, and then set timers for that time. For example plan study in for tuesday night and wednesday afternoon. And then on your phone set reminders and a lot of timers! An hour in advsmce , then 30 mins, then 15,10,5,2,1 by the time you get to 5 your e like yeah fine Lets study

[@helenjames6982]

Plan what you want to study each time

[@freyawhiting2372]

your horse is an amazing jumper

[@shaunalinay2877]

my uncle is the director of the lab technicians in the vet department and my dad works in the bichemistry department haha its so cool to see your classes and stuff because i want to do veterinary so so badly. im currently doing veterinary bioscience in tralee.

[@LE123LE123]

This is great!! I think it's wonderful that you and JetEquitheory are showing how you manage school and riding. Your campus is GORGEOUS! My college days were 30 yrs ago and my campus was dingy and old (still is---it wasn't a vet college, just reg college). Thanks for sharing!

[@chill5715]

love it 💗

[@fionabeale1623]

Great vlog 👍

[@jenniferamy3050]

I really loved this video!!can go into more detail about being a vet student and what you did to get there xx

[@chelseaarcher6868]

Your timetable looks so interesting and fun, your subjects sound great! I really wish i was studying all of that stuff! xx :)

[@chloe3760]

Really enjoyed this :)) and I would love a video about studying veterinary because it’s what I hope to do and I hope to be able to do it a UCD too ❤️

[@Aliquinex]

You two make those jumps look effortless! 😍 great video

[@sophiacastellani1764]

I'll be at UCD in the fall and hope to join the Equestrian club!

[@brittnicoletv7431]

You should really do more vlogging like this :) it’s cool to see!

[@luliepegasus9376]

As someone who is going to Uni for Vet Sciences (I plan to specialize in equines) and who is an aspiring professional showjumper this was really interesting to watch!

I love horses and ride all the time but I don’t know wether to commit to doing it for a career or not. What do you think of your course and were you considering doing other courses?

[@sturdygirl7772]

Nala 305 goed, en met jou? ;)

[@autumn_nights392]

Random Stranger hahaha😂 the test went well, I mean, I hope so. We had to read a tekst, but the irregular verbs were missing and we had to fill them in, but in the correct tense too, and that was so difficult😂 and I’m sorry if I’ve written something wrong, as you know I’m Dutch hahaha. Oh and if there is, please correct me! I love to learn from my mistakes😄❤️❤️

[@FidgetChocolateFudge]

x SuusTijger haha this is like me learning french!! just a heads up, it is text, not tekst - english spelling is weird

[@alekm804]

Hi Fiona! First time seeing your channel and amazing! I was just wondering if you can collect experience throughtout school or does it only count for the university if you did the experience a year before?

[@caoimheguinan7423]

I think I would really like to do veterinary!, I’m doing my junior cert in a few months and I’m going then into ty... if you did ty or even if you didn’t , would you recommend any places to apply for Work experience? Also would you recommend DCU and how many points did you need or get for the course if you don’t mind me asking? I’m from laoise btw!

[@freyagoffin6948]

Does everyone have so much lessons. Im doing vet in Belgium, Im free on mondays, and have 3 half days, only 1 full day (untill 7) and one till 4

[@melanieriding5625]

Fiona is so pretty!! 🤣🤣💜🐎🐎🐴🐴🦄🦄

[@TheUntouchableOne96]

Loved the video, as always ! Qustion about studying in ireland, how long will you be studying for and do you have to do "work experiences". Because I know here in Germany the vet students have to work at several clinics and smaller vets. I'm a veterinary nurse in a clinic small animals and we've always got students for either 6 weeks or even up to 3 months coming and going. So if you ever need somewhere to get some work experience in Germany, let me know ! 😄😄

[@mollyxox1332]

theuntouchableone in UCD (the college she goes to) the vet course is 5 years :)

[@LE123LE123]

Holly, what year are you in? I"m curious to know if this vet program is similar to those in North America---Our vets here go to a variety of different colleges, but our best school is known as OVC--Ontario Vet College out of Guelph University. That's the hardest one to get into and the main one we have if students wish to focus on large animal (they have a huge surgery for horses there). There are smaller schools around now that have a bit of those teaching facilities, but OVC is our main large animal school just given how it was built to teach the students surgeries etc. (They also take in exotics like a riding student of mine was there and working as a volunteer and they had a 6 ft boa constrictor flown in from the east coast for a surgery because it ate a towel. Owner was feeding it and he set a towel down and turned his back just for a moment and then noticed it was gone. Oops. Snake was fine and she got photo of herself with him before he went back home). Does your school do this too? It looked as if you were learning aspects of all animals though--small as well. Does your vet college focus on all animals to begin with then you branch off in your field of focus? Or is this school more focused for larger animals?

[@equinedreamer7380]

Awesome 😎 I am looking to be a vet.

[@charlottedoyle6628]

Do you need to be really smart and good at maths to be a vet. I really want to be a vet but I’m rubbish at maths

[@randomstranger6577]

I think it's mainly sciences? But everything needs maths so don't not bother with it

[@ratb4st4rd30]

Same here, but just study up on your maths + sciences and im sure you can do it

[@miafitch3079]

I’m aiming to do Veterinary in England, I’m currently studying my GCSEs and I’m on track to getting good grades but I was wondering what the interviewing stage for university is like and how you chose your uni!

[@meadhbhbyrne2108]

We don’t do interviews in Ireland :)

[@jencaisse7392]

How do you determine pole spacing like with a pole, jump, and another pole. I know each horse is different in stride and size.

[@Thisthoroughbredsusie]

My horse barres it's teeth when you touch it's wither even without the saddle. She only does dressage/showing and I called the vet out for her yearly annual anatomy check thingy magigy and she can't find anything. What can I do to make her more comfortable

[@harperm8782]

What kinda of grades did you have in high school and prevet? What is the application process like? Do you know if it is super different in Ireland compared to America? Do you have any study tips? I have a hard time focusing. Is it possible to become a vet without racking up $100,000 in student debt? Thank you so much if you actually answer these 😂 Please make more videos like this!

[@mollyxox1332]

Harper M in Ireland at the end of secondary school (high school) there’s a big exam called the Leaving Cert, which is scored by points. The highest amount of points you can get is 625. To do the veterinary medicine course in UCD (her college) you need to score 555 (or more) points in your Leaving Cert x

[@harperm8782]

molly xox So you don’t do prevet? You can just go from straight high school to vet school?

[@HollyLenahanSJ]

Yes you go straight from secondary school to vet school 👍🏼 there’s lots of Americans in my year so I know it’s very different in the states

[@harperm8782]
