Finding a horse you want to buy is one thing, making sure that the horse is worth its weight, is quite another. We highly recommend a pre-purchase inspection of any horse you're interested in buying, and our team specialises in these examinations.

Here's a bit more about what our pre-purchase assessments include:
1️⃣ Preliminary Exam: A basic physical exam to check for any obvious signs of illness or injury.

2️⃣ Flexion Test: A series of movements to evaluate the horse's joints and look for any potential lameness issues.

3️⃣ Radiographs: X-rays of the horse's joints to check for any bone or joint issues that may not be visible during the flexion test.

4️⃣ Endoscopy: A scope is used to examine the horse's upper respiratory system to check for any abnormalities.

Just like ageing athletes, older performance horses need additional and specialised care to ensure they remain at the peak of their powers for as long as possible, and here are some tips from our vet: http://ow.ly/TSQI50OnyRX

Horse owners and horse lovers will understand that these beautiful creatures are highly complex, emotional and fragile. In the same way humans can experience anxiety, so can horses for some of the following reasons:

1. Environmental factors such as loud noises, unfamiliar surroundings, or changes in routine.
2. Physical discomfort or pain from an injury or illness.
3. Separation from other horses or their caretakers.
4. Lack of proper socialisation and training.

It's important to recognise the signs of anxiety in horses, such as sweating, restlessness, and nervousness. If you suspect your horse is experiencing anxiety, we'd love to help with a vet assessment. Save this number should you ever need our help: 0417 396 511

Remember, a happy and healthy horse is a happy rider!

We've had the pleasure of working with many horse mums, from broodmares to new foal mothers, and I know firsthand the dedication and love they have for their offspring.

To all the horse mums who have carried their foals for months, patiently waited for their arrival, and tirelessly cared for them, thank you for all that you do. And to all the human mums who care for their four-legged children, thank you for your love and support.

Today, let's celebrate all the mums who nurture and care for others, both human and animal. Happy Mother's Day!

On the list of questions our vet is commonly asked, is this one relating to dental health.

The right answer to this question depends on several factors, including their age, dental history, and overall health.

In general, most horses should have their teeth floated at least once a year. However, some horses may require more frequent dental care, while others may be able to go longer between floatings.

Reminder: It's important to have your horse's teeth checked regularly by a vet to ensure that any dental issues are identified and treated early on.
