🎓 A day of teaching, mentorship, and shared passion for locomotor pathology.

Today, Emiliano dedicated his time to training a couple of vets from other veterinary practices, helping them refine their ultrasound scanning skills and deepen their understanding of equine anatomy and pathology.

As a certified member of ISELP (International Society of Equine Locomotor Pathology), Emiliano is part of a global community committed to advancing the diagnosis and treatment of lameness and performance issues in horses. It’s a discipline we’re proud to specialise in, and one we genuinely love.

There’s something incredibly rewarding about sharing the knowledge we’ve gained through years of clinical practice and advanced training. Not only does it help develop the next generation of equine vets, but it also raises the standard of care for horses everywhere.

When we share knowledge, everyone wins - especially the horses! 🐴

Happy World Veterinary Day from all of us at Espinar Equine! 🌟🩺

Today is all about celebrating the amazing vets and their support teams who keep horses happy, healthy, and thriving. Veterinary surgeons do so many things; they have a vital role not only in caring for animals themselves, but in the wider context of protecting animal health, human health, and the environment worldwide.

From the everyday simple check-ups to the complex cases that really test our knowledge, our incredible team shows up with kindness, dedication, and expertise 24/7, 365 days a year.

We’re so proud of the work we do, and even prouder of the people who make it possible. It really does take a whole team of very special souls to provide veterinary care, and we are lucky to have some of the best people in our little practice! 🙌 Thank you to our incredible vets, and our fantastic veterinary staff behind the scenes, for everything you do - not just today, but every single day. 🐎💛

Spent this afternoon doing Alpha-2 collection and processing with a very clean and very well-behaved patient! As you can see, this one procedure yielded enough syringes for some future treatments as well 🤩

Alpha-2 is a powerful protector of joint cartilage, helping delay the progression of osteoarthritis by deactivating destructive enzymes and reducing inflammation. Another bonus is that its autologous, meaning it’s all-natural and comes from your horse's own blood. Although there's a fair bit of centrifuging involved, its so rewarding to be able to offer this treatment to clients at their own yard.

Did you know that the Alpha-2 procedure actually had its clinical origin in human medicine, where it is offered as a regenerative medicine therapy option for orthopaedic/rheumatology cases too?

🐎✨ NEW IN STOCK! ✨🐎

We’re now stocking Microbz Horse Nutrition – a natural blend of beneficial microbes, herbs, and minerals designed to promote your horse’s gut health 🌿

Microbes, or beneficial bacteria, are microscopic organisms essential to life on Earth. They are involved in various processes, from fermenting foods like cheese and bread to decomposing organic matter, which recycles nutrients vital for new life. Despite their importance, microbes have often been misunderstood due to their association with disease, leading to widespread use of chemical products aimed at eliminating them.

However, most microbes are beneficial and play crucial roles in maintaining health and balance in our bodies, homes, and the environment. They form complex communities, communicate, and adapt rapidly, contributing to the resilience of ecosystems. Recognising the significance of microbial diversity and fostering healthy microbial communities can enhance well-being and environmental health.

💚 Reduce stress – by naturally lowering cortisol and boosting calming, feel-good chemical messengers
💩 Balance digestion – for more regular digestion and better immunity
🌟 Boost vitality – helping your horse absorb more nutrients, maintain a healthy weight, and shine from the inside out

If you’re looking for a gentle yet powerful way to support your horse’s overall health, we are stocking the 1L bottles, now available to purchase on our website 🐴💚
