Medicine Investigations

Anything not treated by surgical methods is considered medicine - the basic science of equine health care. At our equine facility we can perform medicine investigations on your horse be it a newborn foal or a 35 year-old, retired pony.

As well as our experienced team, consulting veterinary surgeons to the practice bring with them diplomas and experience from working all around the world. We believe our clinic can provide the most up to date care for your horse.
