Services
Equine Reproduction
We provide comprehensive equine reproduction services including pre-breeding assessments, AI packages, natural cover stud services, embryo transfer, and frozen semen storage. Our expertise covers all aspects of mare and stallion fertility management. Clients benefit from our specialist knowledge in improving breeding success rates through modern techniques and facilities.
Diagnostics
Our mobile diagnostic capabilities include wireless battery-powered digital radiography and ultrasonography equipment. This allows accurate on-site diagnosis of musculoskeletal and internal conditions. The portable technology enables immediate assessment and treatment planning at your yard, reducing stress for horses and owners.
Therapeutics
We offer class IV laser therapy, intra-articular joint treatments, shockwave therapy, and regenerative treatments using platelet-rich plasma and stem cells. These therapies accelerate healing of bone, tendon, and ligament injuries while improving vascularisation and bone density through evidence-based protocols.
Sarcoid Removal
Our surgical laser removal technique effectively treats equine sarcoids with faster recovery times. We assess each case to determine the most appropriate treatment approach, combining topical agents with surgical intervention where necessary for optimal outcomes in skin cancer management.
Acupuncture
Led by founder Richard Stringer, our acupuncture service addresses musculoskeletal pain through targeted needle placement. Treatments benefit horses with muscle soreness, arthritis, and sacroiliac pain, typically requiring weekly sessions over four weeks for lasting pain relief and improved mobility.
