We have access to excellent diagnostic equipment- videoendoscopy, gastroscopy, ultrasound, ECG, radiography, nuclear scintigraphy and an in house laboratory to allow us to obtain fast results when investigating your horse’s illness.

Our vets have a variety of specialist interests, which allows them to formulate the best therapeutic plans for the care of our patients. We also have specialist equipment and expertise to allow us to care for critically ill neonatal foals.
