Comprehensive Equine Diagnostics & Referral Care

We use advanced diagnostic tools – including radiography, ultrasound and respiratory endoscopy – ensuring accurate assessments. Our mission is to provide expert, compassionate care to every horse, pony or donkey, ensuring their health, performance and well-being.

We have strong relationships with referral centres for emergency and surgical cases, making sure your horse receives the best possible care whether it is day or night time. For urgent and non-urgent cases, we can discuss and arrange a suitable referral plan, including outside of office hours for emergency cases that require intensive care or surgical intervention.
