RAY LENAGHAN
Ray hails from Ireland where he qualified as a veterinary surgeon seven years ago.
Two years later he came to New Zealand, where he fell firmly on his feet as the Veterinary
Surgeon for the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy.
As well as having the amazing experience of working on the biggest movie ever made to date, he met his partner, Jane Abbott, on set. Just like Jane, Ray is an equine fanatic. He now works as one of the Equine Veterinarians for Otaki Vet Centre. Away from work he competes to national level in Eventing. His number one horse is one of the original Black Rider horse called D’Nazeer whom he purchased on completion of filming.
Apart from veterinary duties on set, Ray also got the chance to ride in some of the scenes from the Return of the King, an experience he cherishes. He continues to be involved in the horse performances with Movie Horses NZ, and has now added sword fighting to his repertoire!
