Newcastle Equine Centre is excited to announce the role of Practice Manager has been filled! Welcome back, Emily Callinan!! Emily started with NEC in the role of stable hand and worked her way up to be one of our most senior equine veterinary nurses while also attending Uni. We are so happy that Emily has returned to NEC after a short period away to take on the challenging role of Practice Manager. Going into the busiest time of year, it is an asset to have someone available to manage so many aspects of the practice and supporting all of the departments that make up our NEC team. She is a beloved member of the NEC family and we are lucky to have her back!🐴💙🩺

Newcastle Equine Centre offer dynamic lameness examinations with a ridden component. A typical lameness examination is performed in hand with the horse asked to trot in a straight line and lunged on both reins. The addition of a ridden component will allow 'real time' assessment of your horse with the vet present.

During a ridden examination, the rider will be asked to trot in straight lines away and towards the vet, tight and large circle work as well as mimic the movements for the horse’s profession as much as possible. The in hand component will also be utilised. In hand trotting and repeat riding will be used after nerve blocking, with identification of the source of lameness appreciated by the vet and rider simultaneously.

A ridden exam is useful when:
• You or the rider has noticed or felt issues while riding.
• You or the rider has reported a problem but no one else can see it.
• The lameness is intermittent or subtle.

The benefits of a ridden exam are:
• replicates how the horse moves when worked
• more likely to show subtle lameness which might not be appreciated in hand.
• allow the rider to provide real-time feedback to the vet and can appreciate positive effects of nerve blocks

We offer this service in Black Hill, just 30 minutes out of Newcastle. Call or email the clinic for more information 🐴💙🩺

We are so excited to announce that our previous intern Dr Honor Melville has been accepted into the University of Queensland's residency in large animal internal medicine! 🐴💙🩺

After graduating from the Royal Dick School of Veterinary Studies in Scotland, Honor began her equine rotating internship with us in January 2025. Most of you would have met her during this time, or in the last 6 months when she stayed on as an associate veterinarian. She then followed into the footsteps of previous NEC interns, and was accepted into a large animal internal medicine residency programme.

Veterinary residency programmes are very competitive, and involve an additional 3 years of intensive training, usually in an academic institution, to then become board-certified in a specific field. Our own specialists, Dr Paddy (surgery), Dr Tom (surgery), and Dr Lisanne (internal medicine) followed this pathway themselves and are always so delighted when they can play a supporting role in these young veterinarians' careers. We are so excited for Honor as she moves into this next phase of her career, even though we'll miss her smiling face around the clinic!

It is with an equal measure of sadness and excitement that we say goodbye to one of our senior nurses, Emily. Emily started with us as a stable hand in 2020 as a part-time job whilst doing her degree. She has grown and excelled in her many years at NEC. Emily is off to pursue her passions in a new career going on to help people rather than horses, and we are so happy for her and this opportunity. Emily, your energy, warmth and dedication will be dearly missed. Wishing you all the best in your future endeavours!! 💙💙💙
