🐑🚑 Lambing Success! 🚑🐑

Dr Hayley Jaenke was recently called out to assist a ewe who had started lambing but wasn’t progressing, a big worry for the owners after a previous loss.

Thanks to Dr Hayley’s expert care, two healthy ram lambs were delivered safely and were standing and drinking within 10 minutes! 🍼

The ewe was a fantastic mother, and tended to them beautifully. 🐏❤️

A great outcome and a proud moment for everyone involved!

Happy World Vet Day 🩺🐎🫏🐐🐄

Today we honour the tireless dedication of equine veterinarians who work rain, hail, or shine to keep our horses healthy, sound, and thriving. From late night foalings to lameness exams, dentals, and everything in between our vets give their all, every single day.

Their passion for equine care runs deep, and so does our gratitude.

To our incredible team, and to equine vets everywhere, thank you for the skill, care, and heart you bring to every paddock, stable, and surgery.

Side by Side – ANZAC Day Remembrance

This ANZAC Day, we remember the unbreakable bond between soldier and horse.

In the trenches and across deserts, our troops were never truly alone—thousands of horses, especially the loyal Walers, carried them through unimaginable trials.

They served together, fought together, and in many cases, fell together.

Today, we honour them all.

Lest we forget.

Fancy presented to WestVETS Equine Hospital in November 2023 showing signs of acute colic. She underwent colic surgery and returned to her family after staying in hospital for several days.
Her owners recently sent through heartwarming photos of Fancy with her rider, along with these kind words:

“In November 2023, you saved the life of this little baldy-faced horse, Fancy.
This email is long overdue, but we couldn’t overcome the fear that we might somehow jinx the situation by admitting success too soon.
Fancy is 20 this year, and her rider is 21. They have been a team for 17 years (photo below).
Words cannot express how grateful we are as a family.
Yesterday, Kaitlyn started getting Fancy fit again for a return to the rodeo arena as her breakaway roping horse (photo below).
I think we all shed tears of joy seeing the dream team back together where they belong.
The response, professionalism, skill, and—most importantly—compassion of your team was second to none.
God bless. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”

We are so pleased to see Fancy and Kaitlyn back together and doing what they love. It’s moments like these that remind us why we do what we do. Thank you to the Everingham Family for the kind words and your dedication to Fancy.
