Happy OT week to my wonderful OT colleagues! Occupations matter; they bring us purpose and make our lives unique and meaningful. Proud to be an OT and feel so grateful to be able to combine my passion for OT with that of equines. While influencing the movement of equines coming into the OT world of practice I have met so many amazing OTs within the UK and beyond and learned such a lot along the way.
