You may have heard of Everything Horse as pictured above - the website and magazine for horse owners - and they have heard of us.
Thrilled for our big news to be mentioned on their website

Pet and Equine Cremations Scotland Ltd becomes Scotland's only independently owned horse crematorium to receive full Scottish Government approval following APHA inspection.

20/11/2025

As many of you will know, it has been an ambition for several years to have our own horse crematorium. We have been working towards this goal for the last year and a half - installing our crematorium, undergoing the inspection process from APHA and finally receiving full approval from the Scottish Government. We have done all this under the name of Pet and Equine Cremations Scotland Ltd, but it is still Equine Recovery Services behind the sister company. This makes us the only independently owned horse crematorium in Scotland and is something of which we are immensely proud. We have long felt that we wanted to care for our clients' horses from the moment they are collected to the time when their ashes are returned and this is now the case. We are soon going to be posting images of the different options available after individual cremation, to give everyone an idea of what is available. Watch this space for updates.

A Personal End of Life Service For Horses And Their Owners

One of the most difficult aspects of owning any animal is coming to terms with saying goodbye. Making the decision to euthanise is often accompanied by a wide range of emotions, and at MBM, we strive to ensure our service is compassionate and supportive to our clients and their horses. We understand that speaking about euthanasia can be extremely distressing for many owners, so we have included some useful information below.

If there is anything we can do to help you and your horse, please do not hesitate to contact us or alternatively have a look at our website for more information - https://www.mbmvetgroup.com/equine/services/euthanasia

In the unfortunate event of an emergency, taking the immediate decision to euthanise the horse to prevent further suffering will take precedent over location. In most circumstances, you will be able to decide on the location of the euthanasia at home or on your livery yard in advance.

Hopefully, a quiet location in familiar surroundings will allow you to say your goodbyes privately. However, we must keep in mind the collection vehicle will need to access the area afterwards.

Keepsakes: Memories are important. On request we can take a clipping of mane, a tail plait, or pull a shoe for you as a treasured keepsake. Having the details organised ahead of time can help the process run smoothly.

Equine Recovery Services: We work closely with Equine Recovery Services, a small independent company dedicated to helping owners at the end of their horse’s or ponies’ life. They offer both routine uplift or individual cremation. More information can be found at https://www.equinerecoveryservices.co.uk/.

In the event of a planned euthanasia appointment, we can liaise with Equine Recovery Services to organise collection of the horse after the vet has attended. If you would like to enquire further about this, contact our office on 01563 522 701. Whilst we will help to set up this service as a courtesy to our clients, we are two separate businesses, and therefore, upfront payment is required for the collection aspect of the service prior to the appointment.

Hopefully a log awaited breakthrough 🤞🤞

The source of equine grass sickness, a devastating condition whose cause has been undiscovered for more than 100 years, is though to be a neurotoxin produced by microorganisms in pasture.

The discovery could lead to novel treatments and improved diagnostics for the disease.

The neurotoxic enzyme which is thought to be responsible for the disease is also present in some snake venoms, suggesting that treatments in development for the effects of snake venom may be adapted for the recovery of horses affected by grass sickness.
