Emergency Care
Our equine veterinary team provides 24/7 emergency cover with immediate phone triage and rapid response. Experienced vets handle critical cases through standing sedation procedures and urgent interventions. Emergency services include pain management, wound treatment, and life-saving interventions for colic or trauma cases.
Vaccinations
We administer essential vaccinations against equine influenza and tetanus, with tailored programs for competition horses. Our services include vaccination certification and compliance documentation for equestrian events. Preventative healthcare packages cover annual boosters and disease-specific immunization schedules.
Dentistry
Comprehensive dental services include routine rasping, tooth extractions, and periodontal disease treatment. We diagnose and manage sharp enamel points, diastema, and dental caries using manual and power tools. Advanced procedures utilise x-rays and specialist equipment for complex oral health issues.
Lameness Diagnosis
Specialist lameness evaluation combines clinical exams, nerve blocks, and imaging techniques. We use digital radiography, ultrasonography, and flexion tests to identify musculoskeletal issues. Treatment plans incorporate joint medications, shockwave therapy, and rehabilitation programs for performance horses.

Our reproductive services include pre-breeding checks, artificial insemination with chilled semen, and pregnancy diagnosis. We offer cycle manipulation using ultrasound monitoring and provide neonatal foal examinations. Specialist care covers high-risk pregnancies and post-natal mare health assessments.
