Hospital and referral services
We’ve been pioneers in equine medicine and surgery since our hospital opened in the 1980s, and have continued to invest in the latest equipment and facilities to ensure we are bringing referring equine vets across the region the very best.
In 2020 we completed an extensive expansion of our premises, allowing us to install an intensive care unit, two brand new surgical suites and a CT suite.
These facilities are managed by nationally and internationally recognised specialists in surgery, medicine, diagnostic imaging, anaesthesia and reproduction, and supported by our team of house vets, qualified veterinary nurses and grooms.
Our range of stabling facilities includes mare and foal boxes, stallion boxes, intensive care facilities, miniature horse boxes spread across three separate barns, as well as a collection of 10 small paddocks, meaning we have capacity for up to 50 horses stabling and can give horses freedom to graze outside, where appropriate.
If you’re a veterinary professional and would like to refer a case to us, please get in touch or complete our online referral form.
