On our last day, we want to take a moment to say a final thank you.

Since 1985, we have shared so many memories with this community. It has been a true privilege to care for your horses and work alongside such dedicated owners.

While our doors are closing, we know your horses are in great hands with our neighbouring VetPartners practices.

Thank you for the trust you placed in us for over 40 years. We wish you and your horses the very best for the future.

With love, The Minster Equine Vets Team đź’š

⚠️ It is with a heavy heart that we share some difficult news.

Since 1985, it has been our privilege to serve this community and your horses. However, on 15th May 2026, Minster Equine Vets will be permanently closing.

This has been an extremely difficult decision. Due to complex factors outside of our control, we are sadly no longer able to deliver the high standards of care that you and your horses deserve.

We want to thank you for your incredible support over the last four decades. It has been an honour to work with you.

For immediate questions, you can reach us at 01904 788840 or [email protected].

đź“ŁGastroscopy Clinic - Wednesday April 29thđź“Ł

Has your horse's behaviour changed recently? Have they become irritable to tack up? Have they started stopping out jumping or napping whilst hacking? Weight loss and reduced appetite?

Early recognition and correct veterinary care are key to diagnosing and managing ulcers, to keep your horse comfortable, healthy and happy.

🌞🌷Hello Spring!🌷🌞

The first day of spring is here and the air is full of possibility.
Longer days mean more time in the saddle, more walks in the sunshine and more moments to enjoy with your horse.

Let’s welcome the season of growth, fresh blooms and a spring in every step, especially your horse’s!

We’ve almost made it through the muddy fields, dark evenings/mornings and soggy boots… and now it’s time for longer days, sunnier rides and happier horses!
After months of battling winter, it will be amazing to see horses stretching their legs and enjoying the fresh spring air.

Here’s to brighter rides, lighter evenings and all the adventures spring brings!

Regular dental care is key to keeping your horse happy, healthy and performing at their best. But how often should you book a check?

✅🦷Routine checks: Most horses benefit from a dental exam at least once a year.
✅🦷High-risk horses: Young horses, senior horses, or those with performance issues may need checks every 6–12 months.
✅🦷Watch for signs: Difficulty eating, weight loss or head tossing, can indicate it’s time to book sooner.

Your horse can’t tell you when it hurts, but a dental check can!
Book your horse’s dental check today. Ring the clinic on 01904 788840.

Equine Herpes Virus (EHV): Stay Vigilant

There are still cases of EHV in the UK, making awareness and prevention more important than ever.

This highly contagious virus can cause respiratory disease, neurological problems, and, in pregnant mares, even abortion. While some horses show mild or no signs, it can spread quickly in yards, competitions, and stables.

If you’re unsure about your horse’s vaccination status or want advice on EHV prevention, we’re here to help. Ring 01904 788840.

Evie has been part of the Minster team for nearly 10 years and has recently returned from maternity leave after welcoming her son, Albie. We’re delighted to have her back! 💚

Evie is a qualified Registered Veterinary Nurse and Artificial Insemination Technician, with a particular passion for reproduction work and supporting the vets with AI cases.

As an RVN at Minster Equine, Evie’s role is incredibly varied. From taking blood samples and administering a range of injections, to providing sedation for visiting professionals such as dentists or for clipping, and assisting with diagnostic x-rays for veterinary assessment — no two days are ever the same in ambulatory practice.

đź“Ł Please join us in giving Evie a warm welcome back to the green team! đź“Ł
