Lameness Investigation We feel it is essential to examine horses on different surfaces ie. Straight trot-ups, lungeing on hard surfaces, under saddle in sand school etc. Whether this is to be performed at the clinic or your yard depends on the nature of the problem and fecilities required. Please discuss your problem with one of the vets prior to booking an appointment if you are unsure. |

Farrier We have a practice remedial farrier. Shoeing is essential for the treatment and management of foot related lameness. Richard Chard provides an excellent service from the practice for us. |

Laboratory The practice laboratory routinely performs full blood profiles, worm egg counts, examination of swabs and smears and the cell content of samples (eg. Joint fluids) but also has access to a next day laboratory service. |
