Competing?

Many disciplines have strict flu vaccination rules and it’s always the owner’s responsibility to stay compliant.

Check your dates before events to avoid disappointment (or worse, risk).

Keep Vaccinations Up to Date

Your horse needs regular boosters to maintain protection.

If you’re unsure where your horse stands, your vet can help.

Is your horse struggling to pick up the canter on one lead? Or showing subtle changes in stride, stiffness, or reluctance?

Sometimes, the signs of lameness or discomfort are very subtle, but they can affect performance.

Early detection makes all the difference.

Look out for:
Shortening of stride
Difficulty in transitions
Uneven rhythm or reluctance on one lead
Swelling or heat in joints

Our team of equine vets can help identify the underlying issue before it becomes serious.

Book a consultation or talk to us to discuss your horse’s performance. You can ring the office on 01296 745374 or email [email protected].

Vaccinating Still Matters

Vaccinating is the single most effective tool we have to reduce the severity and spread of equine influenza.

Even vaccinated horses can be affected, but symptoms are usually milder and outbreaks are easier to control.

At Hampden Equne our goal is simple: to get your horse back to feeling their best, safely and quickly. Sometimes, that means using more than one diagnostic tool.

Every horse is unique, and so is every health issue. While a single test can give us part of the picture, combining tools like X-rays, ultrasound, bloodwork and endoscopy helps us:

Pinpoint the exact cause of a problem
Understand how different systems are affected
Plan the safest, most effective treatment

Think of it like detective work: one clue isn’t always enough to solve the mystery.



By layering our diagnostics, we give your horse the best chance for a full recovery.

How Do Vets Diagnose Equine Flu?

Diagnosis is based on:

Clinical signs

Laboratory testing, including PCR tests. These tests help confirm infection quickly, so the right steps can be taken to protect your horse and the wider equine community.

Performance Isn’t Just About Training

You put in the hours, perfecting every stride, every jump, every movement, but true results come from more than just training. It’s about understanding your horse, their comfort and what supports them behind the scenes.

At Hampden Equine we work alongside horse owners to bridge the gap between training and expert care, to help your horse move freely, recover faster and perform at their best.
