Vaccinations and Healthchecks Vaccinations and Health Checks Keeping your horses healthy for longer is our aim. We offer a no cost travel option for your horse's preventative health care. Pre-Purchase Examinations Pre-Purchase examinations The start of the journey with your horse. Our experienced team offer a full vetting service with or without x-rays as required and ensure all findings are communicated and discussed clearly with you straight after the examination, as well as providing a written certificate. Endoscopy and Gastroscopy Endoscopy and Gastroscopy Gastric ulcers can only be diagnosed and monitored by looking inside the horse's stomach with a camera. Likewise problems with other internal areas of your horse, such as the respiratory tract or bladder require endoscopy to ascertain the nature of the problem and allow effective treatment.

Our horses are used for a variety of demanding disciplines that can lead to musculoskeletal injuries presenting as myofascial trigger points. The use of acupuncture alone or in combination with other therapies can improve the speed and quality of recovery.
Acupuncture must be performed by a qualified Veterinary Surgeon. Angela and Joanna are both available for treatments and hold a qualification from the Association of British Veterinary Acupuncturists.
