At the end of the week, we will sadly be saying goodbye to our beloved Dr Jess Mullard. Jess is moving on following an exciting new opportunity for her family that was simply too good to turn down. While we are very sad to see her go, we are excited for what lies ahead for her and her family.

Over the last 7 years with us, Jess has made such a lasting contribution to the care of so many horses and has been a trusted support to our clients, colleagues, and referring vets. Her knowledge, calm judgment, and unwavering commitment to horse welfare have left a real mark on the practice. We are incredibly grateful for everything she has brought to the team and for the difference she has made to so many people and horses over the years.

Thank you, Jess, for your hard work, kindness, dedication, and friendship over the past 7 years. The practice won’t be the same without you.
We wish you every success and happiness in your next adventure.

We will miss you so much, Jess! ❤️

The latest update from the Equine Infectious Disease Surveillance (EIDS) has shown that there has been a further rise in confirmed cases of Equine Influenza across the UK, taking the total number of laboratory confirmed outbreaks to 71, with further testing still awaiting confirmation.

Vaccinations remain the best way to help protect your horse. We would like to highlight the importance of keeping vaccinations up to date to help protect both your horse and the wider equine community. We now have just 𝗢𝗡𝗘 𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗞 𝗟𝗘𝗙𝗧 of our Vaccine Amnesty, making this the perfect opportunity to get your horse protected and back on track with their vaccinations.

It is important to remain vigilant whilst out competing or attending shows and events, and to avoid contact between your horse and others wherever possible. For owners wanting additional protection, a 6-monthly booster may also be worth considering instead of the standard annual booster, particularly for horses that regularly travel, compete, or attend events.

If you are planning to compete or attend events, please check directly with your governing body or event organiser regarding current vaccination requirements and rules, as these may vary and could change during the outbreak.

Equine Influenza is more than just a few days off work — it can have a significant financial and practical impact.

📞 Please contact the practice to book your vaccination appointment or to discuss your horse’s vaccination status with our team.

We are delighted to welcome Craig Osborne to our vet team as our new Clinical Director. Craig is an EBVS and RCVS Specialist in Large Animal Surgery and brings a huge amount of expertise in equine lameness, surgery and emergency care. Craig has worked at various equine hospitals in the UK including stints in Somerset, Hertfordshire, Kent and Yorkshire. Most recently he has returned from three years as surgeon at Dubai Equine Hospital working with Thoroughbreds and endurance Arabs. Outside of work Craig is a keen golfer and cyclist, though time for these pursuits are limited while he supports his wife Nikki with their beautiful but lively baby daughter.

Please join us in giving him a warm welcome as he settles into his new life at Buckingham Equine Vets. 🦴🐴

In light of the recent spike in Equine Influenza cases in the UK, for the month of May, we will be holding a vaccine amnesty. This is the perfect opportunity to get your horse, pony or donkey’s vaccinations back on track at a reduced cost, with eligible horses receiving their second vaccination for free.

Did you realise all horses are at risk of flu, even if they don’t leave the yard as the virus can travel through the air up to 2km*. Plus when competing and hacking, horses could get infected and bring flu back to the yard.

To take part in our amnesty or to find out more information please call 01908 560789

Let’s work together to keep everyone protected 🩵💉

❗️𝐄𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐳𝐚 𝐔𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞:❗️

Recent EquiFluNet data shows a significant increase in equine influenza cases across the UK over the past month. Equine flu is highly contagious and airborne, meaning it can spread over surprisingly long distances, even without direct contact.

There have currently been 18 reported outbreaks in the UK this year, and this number is still rising. This compares to just 4 reported outbreaks during the whole of 2025. Recent cases have been seen mostly in new arrivals and unvaccinated horses.

There is no cause for panic, but it is important to stay on top of vaccinations, ensure appropriate biosecurity measures are in place for any new arrivals to your yard, and remain vigilant when out competing.

Vaccinating your horse remains the most effective way to reduce the risk of your horse becoming seriously ill, and also helps to limit the spread of the virus. Please make sure your horse’s vaccinations are up to date. If you are unsure when your horse is due, please contact the office.

It’s also important to keep an eye out for symptoms and contact us if you notice any of the following signs:

Clinical signs to be aware of:
* Fever over 38.5°C
* Coughing
* Nasal discharge
* Loss of appetite
