BASED near Tullow, County Carlow, husband-and-wife team Peter Bakonyi and Aoife Byrne are a rapidly growing mobile veterinary practice. Specialising in horse care, they offer all routine services along with more specialised services, such as equine ophthalmology and advanced equine sports medicine.

Both Peter and Aoife spent time training in England and, returning home to Ireland, they have brought their combined years of specialised equine veterinary experience to Bakonyi and Byrne Equine Vets. Now with two children, they have settled well into Irish life, and have built up a strong client base ranging from pony owners to top-end competition and breeding yards.
