Emergency Services

24 hours per day dedicated equine vets on call

Our out of hours service is provided by our team of dedicated equine vets who are fully trained to deal with equine emergencies.

We usually attend to the horse at home and many emergency situations respond rapidly to treatment.

There are some scenarios where we may need to admit your horse for further treatment to our inpatient facilities. These scenarios include severe wounds, horses requiring fluids etc.

 








What to do in an Emergency

During working hours, all telephone calls go to our reception desk and are passed to the Equine Veterinary Team. Out of hours, you will be asked to select what service you require and will be passed to the relevant on call vet.

Please always make sure you have clear directions available to where your horse is kept. It can be useful to have our contact details and your livery yard post code on a sheet on your horses stable door in case of emergency. Also have your contact details on this sheet in case you are not there when your horse falls ill.
