We love to hear your feedback and updates on our patients!

Thank you to our lovely client Marian who has given us a wonderful update on her horse Mickey, who as you can see is feeling fit and fabulous after treatment from our clinical director Manuela. Here are some words from Marian -

A year ago Micky was lame. Manuela treated him for several months. Late November he was cleared to start gentle work and Manuela advised his recovery from there, including working with our farrier. I’d like to say thank you so very much for the kindness, support and professional service. I think the photos here now show he can now balance on one leg and is back to full bendiness 😀

Equine Influenza Cases Are Rising in the UK – Protect Your Horse!

Recent reports show an increase in equine influenza (flu) cases across the UK, and it spreads quickly between horses. Now is the time to stay vigilant.

How to protect your horse:

💉 Keep influenza vaccinations up to date – this is your best defence. If your horse has not been vaccinated within the last 6 months you can give a booster to increase immunity to the influenza virus
🐴 Avoid mixing with horses of unknown vaccination status
☣ Isolate any new arrivals
🥣 Don’t share equipment (buckets, tack, grooming kits)
🫱 Practice good hygiene – wash hands and disinfect regularly
🤒 Monitor for signs: cough, nasal discharge, fever, lethargy

⚠️ If you suspect flu: Contact your vet immediately and isolate the horse to prevent spread.

Equine flu is highly contagious, but with good biosecurity and vaccination, we can limit outbreaks and keep our horses safe 💙

Please call us on 01793 739220 if you wish to book in a vaccination or if you suspect your horse has symptoms of flu

A brilliant charity we work alongside treating their horses during their rehabilitation. Bambi, who has quite the story, was a lovely patient this week. He had chest X-rays and abdominal ultrasound performed by our Vets Sarah and Rebecca as well as blood testing to ensure he is recovering well.
