Always interests me that people usually know what make their bit is, but often not really what it does...

This utterly amazing lady was my co-conspirator as we both studied for our MSc Animal Manipulation at the McTimoney College of Chiropractic . We laughed together, studied together and passed together. We were always contemporaries, with slightly different roles, so we shared and trained students, we developed our practices ... and we mentored each other. She was unfailingly honest and very insightful. I am so very sad that she has left us so early and will miss knowing that she is in the world. My deepest condolences to Bruce, and my thanks to Writtle for recognising her simply enormous contribution to this sphere. Desperately sad.

One of Writtle’s finest, our dear friend and colleague Sue Tracey has sadly passed away. Sue’s health concerns forced her to retire a few years ago, but her impact was such that she will always be remembered as an integral part of ‘team Writtle’.

Sue’s journey with Writtle started in 1994 as a student, when she joined the HND Horse Studies cohort, transitioning quickly to a degree programme and eventually to an MSc. Following her appointment to the Equine team as a lecturer (a role she held for over 20 years), Sue drove the development of the hugely successful Equine Sports Therapy award, which rapidly gained industry recognition and endorsement.

It was Sue’s idea to consider delivering veterinary physiotherapy at Writtle, so to all those graduates from both courses, whose skills have improved the lives of many animals, we have Sue to thank.

Over the years, countless students have benefitted from her dedication to their academic endeavours, to her personal support and encouragement, and to her unwavering commitment to animal welfare.

Tributes have poured in for Sue, from both students and staff, with many recognising her ‘beautiful soul’, and her influence on their careers. She has indeed left a considerable legacy. She was endlessly proud of her students, and Writtle was exceptionally proud of her. We will miss her terribly.

Please see our link below regarding the memorial we are planning at Writtle on Friday 7th March, we’d love for you to join us.
