Investigation and treatment of infertility in thoroughbred and non-thoroughbred mares, insemination using chilled and frozen semen (BEVA approved centre), repair of parturition injuries etc. We have extensive experience in the diagnosis and treatment of medical and surgical conditions affecting foals.

Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive technique that can be carried out in standing or anaesthetised horses for investigation of medical and abdominal disorders and for some surgical procedures such as cryptorchidectomy and ovariectomy. We are fully equipped with long and short laparoscopes and a variety of associated instruments.

In depth lameness diagnosis is carried out using analgesia, radiography and ultrasonography. Corrective farriery can be carried out on site. We have two remedial farriers who visit the hospital twice a week, or by appointment. There are facilities for trotting up, lunging and ridden exercise.

Extracorporeal shockwave therapy is a relatively new treatment for lame horses. We have found great success in treating suspensory desmitis, tendinitis, splints, non-union fractures, sore backs, non-specific foot pain. This can be carried out on an out-patient basis.

Metron computer analysis can be used for foot conformation and balance as well as ultrasonographic tendon evaluation.

Endoscopy, tracheal washes, radiography and surgery (standing or anaesthetised) can be used for the investigation and treatment of a full range of disorders including dysphagia, nasal discharges, dental disease, laryngeal and other respiratory abnormalities. A 300cm equine gastroscope with a video recording system is routinely used for examinations of the proximal alimentary tract in foals and adult horses.

Colic cases can be admitted for medical or surgical treatment at any hour. Surgical cases receive intensive aftercare as appropriate.

All aspects of elective or emergency orthopaedic surgery can be carried out including arthroscopy and fracture repair. We have video arthroscopic equipment with motorised burrs and shavers and an extensive range of AO/ASIF equipment and implants.
