After graduating from the University of Melbourne and completing a Masters Degree in Surgery, Ian came to the USA in 1983 to complete a surgery residency at the University of Pennsylvania, New Bolton Center.

After his promotion to Associate Professor, they decided to move north to be closer to Ginny’s family in Wilmington, DE. Working in several equine private practices along the way, they now reside in Rippon, WV with their two children, Jess and Ben, 3 dogs, 5 horses, 4 sheep, 2 rabbits and a chameleon.

Ian and Ginny own and operate Harrison Equine in Berryville, VA where Ian is a Board Certified Equine Surgeon with a special interest in upper airway diseases and sports medicine.
