About us

We understand the important role that horses play in our lives

The Equine Veterinary Practice was founded in 1999 and over the years it has established itself as the friendly, reliable and dedicated Equine Veterinary Centre.

Our vets and support staff are horse riders and owners themselves and clients can rest assured that they will be seeing a dedicated horse vet no matter what the time of day or night. Our patients range from high-level competition horses through to the much-loved family pony. All receive the same care and attention, on which we pride ourselves.

We offer a full range of routine equine veterinary services such as vaccinations, dentistry, sedations, lameness investigations, breeding work including fresh and frozen AI and pre-purchase examinations.

We are fully equipped with portable digital x-rays, ultrasound scanners, endoscopy, shockwave and clinic based gastroscopy equipment, and we can perform routine surgeries including castrations and lump removals both at our clinic and at your yard if the facilities are adequate.

All of our equipment can be used at your premises as well as at the clinic so long as a suitable power supply is available. It is sometimes easier to carry out more difficult procedures at the clinic, where we have better facilities such as stocks to aid restraint. This minimises stress, helps to prevent injury to horse, handler and vets and can ensure a thorough examination.

If major surgical procedures, such as colic surgery or arthroscopy, or advanced diagnostic imaging such as scintigraphy (bone scanning), CT or MRI are required, we are able to refer your horse to one of the specialist referral equine hospital facilities. We work closely with Rainbow Equine Hospital at Old Malton, Hird & Partners at Halifax and Leahurst – The University of Liverpool’s Large Animal Hospital.
