Clare Oxley

Founder & Managing Director

Clare is a passionate horse person and animal lover who has been dedicated to creating long-lasting and quality connections with her clients in the performance & racing industry for the last 30 years.

Clare understands the need for reputable premium quality products at reasonable prices. “Reputation in this industry is paramount to success. As an animal lover and owner myself, the desire to give your four-legged friend the best, especially when they are sick can be a complex choice. There are so many ‘pop up’ options around that seem to come and go with no credibility, it makes trusting in a product difficult”.

“Having a passion and an understanding of animals and our clientele is vital for product and brand success. The EquaCare team are some of the most highly qualified and experienced in the Industry. I wanted to share this knowledge and product quality with our clients… and that is how EquaCare was born”.
