Dr James Whitfeld

BVSc

Partner and Racetrack veterinarian

James joined the practice in 1992 after completing his degree at Massey University in New Zealand. After working in South East Asia for the Malaysian Racing Association, he moved back to REC Equine Specialists as a partner.  In 2011 James moved to Bowral and became a founding partner of our sister practice, Southern Highlands Equine Centre (SHEC).


An experienced racetrack and general practitioner of over 30 years, James splits his time between SHEC and REC Equine Specialists. James has a particular interest in lameness and podiatry, spending most mornings at Warwick Farm racecourse where he is stable vet for several prominent trainers.  He visits Randwick racecourse every week and spends several afternoons a week servicing the performance horse properties of the Southern Highlands.
