Did you know dental issues can lead to pain, weight loss, behavioural problems and poor performance in horses? Many dental conditions develop gradually and can be easy to miss.

A routine dental examination can help:
Keep your horse comfortable and pain free
Support healthy weight and condition
Improve performance and behaviour
Prevent more serious problems developing

Spring is a great time to get ahead and make sure your horse is ready for the season ahead.

Book a dental check-up with our skilled veterinary team today.

As the weather warms up and plants start to bloom, some
horses can develop seasonal allergies. It’s a good idea to keep
an eye out for common signs such as:
• Watery or irritated eyes
• Coughing
• Nasal discharge
• Increased sneezing
While mild symptoms can be common at this time of year,
these signs shouldn’t be ignored. Early advice and treatment
can help keep your horse comfortable throughout the season.
If you notice any of these symptoms, our team is here to help
and advise.

The festive season is nearly here! 🎄🎅🤶

Batman and Winston would like to remind you all to order medication ASAP if you think you will need these over the Christmas and New Year period!

Remember our last delivery will be Christmas Eve so orders in by Friday the 19th of December to avoid any delays!

Written prescriptions are also likely to be delayed by your pharmacy so please remember this and contact us if you need any medication to tide you over (pardon the pun)!

I think it would be fair to say that Winston did not particularly enjoy his run this morning 🙈!
We hope you don't get too wet tending to your horses this morning and get back in the warm and dry ASAP!
Please remember that although the snow may be non-existent where you are, some areas have a good covering and the roads can be slow going, please try to be patient if you are waiting for a visit today and apologies in advance if we are a little late! 🌨❄️☃️

Today marks the end of an era as it is Lynne Bradwell's last day at Durham Equine.

Lynne will be missed by many and we would like to thank her for all of her hard work and dedication over the years.

We are all sending our best wishes and good luck for the future Lynne.

Your Durham Equine Family. xx

I would just like to take this opportunity to thank all my Durham Equine workmates, both vets and office staff, for my lovely gifts as my last day working here draws close. I started at Simply Horses and then merged with Durham equine. I have met some lovely people, both clients and staff, but it's time to move on to pastures new. At least the confusion in the office will cease as there will only be one Lynne 🤣
Max and I will still be out and about, so I am sure I will bump into some of you.
