Practice
Our huge depth of experienced is complimented by the excellent facilities that we have invested in. Our semi-rural location has allowed us develop an extensive site which includes nine indoor stables (two of these are mare and foal boxes), four large turn-out paddocks, and a purpose built trot-up and lunging arena. We also have extensive parking for your horse boxes and trailers, and a purpose built loading ramp is also available if required.
Our padded knock-down box, equine anaesthesia machine, and extensive anaesthetic monitoring equipment allows us to perform extensive surgery. Previous soft tissue cases include mare ovariectomy and equine caesarian section. Our portfolio of surgical orthopaedic cases include fracture repair using bone plating techniques and fracture closure using orthopaedic screwing techniques. We have also performed a large number of dental extractions under general anaesthetic.
Investigation of lame horses occupies a large amount of our time. Of course our experience dealing with such cases is invaluable, but with the help of a high powered xray machine located within the purpose built xray room, and our soft tissue ultrasound scanner, we are able to provide an extremely high level of diagnostics. Our work in equine medicine is extensive including gastroscopy, respiratory medicine, neonatology, ophthalmology and general medicine. Our 3 metre gastroscope/endoscope allows us to investigate stomach and intestinal conditions, and head and respiratory disease. With the help of our laboratory equipment we are able to evaluate blood samples, and analysis of skin samples.
Equine dentistry is becoming more and more important and recognising problems with your horses dentition is essential to your horses performance. We have an extensive range of dental equipment to provide your horse with excellent dental care.
During the stud season we are very busy with artificial insemination and evaluation of the mare’s reproductive performance. We have purpose built stocks for our obstetrical procedures, and semen storage facility.
