Our 24/7 emergency service provides immediate assistance for equine health crises. Qualified veterinarians respond to urgent cases outside regular hours, offering critical care and stabilisation at any location. This service covers the full spectrum of equine emergencies across our operating regions.
Digital radiography
Advanced wireless digital x-ray technology enables on-site skeletal and lameness assessments. This portable diagnostic tool provides immediate imaging for accurate diagnosis of musculoskeletal conditions, allowing prompt treatment decisions in the horse's familiar environment.

Comprehensive 2 and 5-stage veterinary assessments identify potential health issues in prospective equine purchases. Our examinations follow industry standards, providing buyers with detailed evaluations of a horse's health and suitability for intended use.

Routine dental examinations and treatments maintain oral health and comfort. Services include teeth rasping, wolf tooth removal and advanced dental procedures through specialist referral partnerships, with sedation options available for complex cases.
