Routine Stable Visits
Our Newmarket-based team of experienced first opinion vets carry out routine stable visits to our sports and leisure horse clients across a wide area of Suffolk and the surrounding counties (please see the map of our catchment area).
Services include pre-purchase examinations, routine healthcare, lameness and medical examinations and treatment, preventive medicine (e.g. vaccinations, routine dentistry, advice on management), reproductive services for mares and stallions and emergency treatments for colic, wounds and other injuries.
We have a full range of portable diagnostic equipment, including digital endoscopy, radiography and ultrasonography. This allows our vets to diagnose and treat successfully a wide variety of conditions at stable yards. However, more complex diagnostic, medical and surgical cases can be referred quickly to our equine hospital and diagnostic centre, where specialist expertise and facilities are available.
Microchipping
From 1st October 2020 it will be mandatory for all equines (horses, ponies and donkeys) to be microchipped and owners are legally required to make sure that their animals’ details are up-to-date on the Central Equine Database. This can be accessed online and holds information on all horses in England (as well as other parts of the UK) so owners can be reunited if their animal in the event of it going missing.
The equine identification regulations make it a legal requirement for all horses in England, Wales and Scotland to be identified, meaning that the animal will have to be microchipped and passported, and civil sanctions, such as fixed penalty notices, may be applied to those who don't comply. Owners will need to get any equine born before 30th June 2009 retrospectively microchipped, if it is not already chipped.
