After five wonderful breeding seasons with us, it’s time to say slán (goodbye) to an incredibly special member of the Ascot Equine Vets family – Nurse Ann-Marie Moyles. 💚🐴

For the past five years, Ann-Marie has spent every Thursday with us during our busy breeding season, giving up her day off from teaching veterinary nursing at AVT to support our team. We truly couldn’t have asked for a more knowledgeable, generous and passionate nurse to have by our side.

Ann-Marie began her equine nursing career at Baldivis Equine Hospital before moving to Murdoch University, where she became the Equine Nursing Coordinator. She later joined Applied Vocational Training (AVT), where she developed the Equine Veterinary Nursing course—an incredible achievement and a lasting contribution to the equine nursing and veterinary profession. Throughout her career, she has inspired and mentored countless veterinary nurses, encouraging so many to pursue a career in equine nursing.

Here at Ascot, her experience and willingness to share her knowledge have been invaluable. From running tutorials and teaching practical skills to offering guidance and encouragement, she has helped shape the next generation of equine nurses within our own team. Many of our nurses have benefited from her wisdom, patience and unwavering support.

While we’re incredibly sad to see her go, we’re so excited for the next chapter as she returns home to Ireland. 🇮🇪

Ann-Marie, thank you for your friendship, your generosity, your dedication to our profession and for helping make our team better every single breeding season. Your influence extends far beyond Ascot Equine Vets—you’ve helped shape the careers of so many equine nurses across Western Australia, and that legacy will continue for many years to come.

We wish you every happiness and success back home. You’ll be greatly missed, but never forgotten. 💚

Please join us in wishing Ann-Marie all the very best on her next adventure! ☘️

Not every day in equine practice is glamorous.

This photo shows Dr Ebony and Dr Annemarie wearing protective clothing and equipment while caring for a mare after she sadly aborted her foal.

Why all the extra gear?

When a mare aborts, veterinarians can be exposed to placental tissues, foetal tissues and uterine fluids. Some infectious causes of abortion can also pose a risk to people. These are known as zoonotic diseases—diseases that can be transmitted from animals to humans.

One disease receiving increased attention is Chlamydia psittaci, which has been associated with equine abortions in Australia’s eastern states and can cause serious illness in people. Current evidence suggests this is not necessarily an emerging cause of equine abortion, but rather one that has historically been underdiagnosed because testing was not routinely performed.

It is not the only potential infectious risk, which is why thorough investigation and appropriate biosecurity precautions are important in all abortion cases.

Although Chlamydia psittaci has not yet been reported in horses in Western Australia, vigilance remains important. Wearing protective equipment and clothing helps reduce the risk of disease transmission and allows us to safely care for our patients while protecting our team.

Good biosecurity isn’t about assuming the worst—it’s about being prepared for it.

🌅 Winter Solstice 🌅

Today marks the winter solstice — the shortest day and longest night of the year.

By 5:45pm, darkness has almost settled in, but the winter sky can still put on a spectacular display of colour. Moments like these remind us that even on the shortest days, there’s still plenty of beauty to be found.

The good news? From tomorrow, the days start getting longer! We’re looking forward to a little more daylight, longer evenings, and all the signs that spring is slowly making its way back.

More daylight means more time in the saddle after work, longer afternoons with our horses, and a few extra precious minutes to enjoy the outdoors — something we’re sure many of our clients will be celebrating too. 🐴

🎉 Happy Birthday, Ebony! 🎉

Yesterday we celebrated our fantastic intern, Ebony, with birthday cake and plenty of laughs! 🎂🥳

Although she unfortunately had to spend her birthday at work, we’re hoping she’ll be making up for it next week with a birthday bonfire celebration done properly! 🔥🎉

Ebony joined the Ascot Equine Vets team earlier this year after graduating from Murdoch University in December. She was already a familiar face around the practice, having completed many weeks of placement with us during her veterinary studies.

Since starting her internship, Ebony has thrown herself into every opportunity, rotating between hospital and ambulatory practice and embracing the variety that equine veterinary medicine has to offer. Her quiet, thoughtful nature, strong work ethic and willingness to learn have made her a valued member of our team, and we’re excited to be part of her journey as a young veterinarian.

With August around the corner, Ebony is currently counting down the days until breeding season begins—without a doubt her favourite time of the year! Please join us in wishing Ebony a very happy birthday and a wonderful year ahead! 🎈🎁💙

🐴❤️ Team Terrance ❤️🐴

A recent stable-side discussion about the best plan for our very special patient, Terrance.

Providing the best care takes a team effort, and we’re fortunate to have such a dedicated group of vets and nurses working together to achieve the best possible outcome for every patient.

Special patients like Terrance remind us just how important collaboration is in equine veterinary care. ❤️

Yesterday afternoon we had the pleasure of welcoming Dr David Rendle, Equine Medicine Specialist from the UK, for a fantastic afternoon of learning.

Dr Rendle shared the latest research and developments in Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS), providing valuable insights into the diagnosis, management, and ongoing understanding of this important condition. It was a fantastic opportunity to learn from one of the leading experts in the field and to stay up to date with the most current evidence-based approaches to equine healthcare.

A huge thank you to Dr Rendle for generously sharing his knowledge and expertise, and to BOVA Compounding for organising this fantastic event.

At Ascot Equine Veterinarians, we are committed to ongoing learning and professional development to ensure we continue to provide the highest standard of care for our patients.

🎂 Happy Birthday to our newest team member, Jasmine! 🎂

Jasmine joined the Ascot Equine Vets team just a few weeks ago… just in time to experience one of our favourite practice traditions — the entire team giving their very best (and very loud) rendition of Happy Birthday 🎶😂

Originally from New Zealand, Jasmine made the move across the ditch after working as a receptionist in mixed practice in Auckland. She’s also a keen horsewoman, so she fits right in with our equine-loving crew 🐴

And for anyone calling the clinic — if you hear a lovely Kiwi accent on the phone, you’ve got Receptionist Jasmine… not Nurse Jazmin 😉🇳🇿

If you haven’t already met Jasmine, make sure to say hi next time you’re in the clinic!

We hope you’ve had a fantastic birthday, Jasmine — we’re very happy to have you as part of the Ascot family 🩵

Dr Reina is currently in Brisbane attending the Australian Veterinary Association Conference, soaking up the latest knowledge in equine veterinary medicine alongside colleagues from across the country. 🐴📚

On Monday, she completed the EVA Prepurchase Examination Workshop — an important prerequisite for all of our veterinarians performing prepurchase examinations. These workshops help ensure our team stays up to date with current standards, best practices, and advances in equine assessment.

The equine stream at this year’s conference has featured an incredible lineup of speakers and presentations, topped off by keynote speaker Professor Joe Mayhew — a world-renowned expert in equine neurology.

We love seeing our team continually learning and expanding their knowledge so we can keep providing the highest standard of care to our patients and clients. 👏 We can’t wait for Reina to return and share what she’s learned with the rest of the team!

Big news worth celebrating! 🇮🇪🇦🇺🎉

Our amazing Head Nurse Danika received the exciting news last week that she is now officially a Permanent Resident of Australia! 🥳

To celebrate, Dr Pete baked a very fitting Aussie classic — a delicious homemade lamington cake 🍫🥥

We’re so proud of you, Danika, and so lucky to have you as part of the Ascot Equine family. Here’s to exciting new chapters and many more celebrations ahead! 💚

🛠️✨ Reception upgrade: assembled with skill, determination… and only minimal IKEA-induced stress 😅

Nurse assistant Emily and nurse Jaz took on the challenge of putting together our new reception cupboard — and absolutely nailed it! The final result fits like a glove and looks fantastic in reception 👏

Safe to say the instructions didn’t know who they were dealing with 💪📖

Great teamwork, lots of laughs, and one very stylish new addition to the clinic — amazing job, ladies! 🤍
