A leading equine veterinary practice based in North Yorkshire.
We offer a full range of surgery options for horses; there is no surgical procedure that we cannot perform. All horses undergo detailed pre-anaesthetic checks (whether standing surgery or those performed under general anaesthesia). We use the latest minimally invasive surgical techniques and diagnostic imaging equipment in our climate-controlled theatre. Horses recovering from general anaesthesia utilise our purpose-built assisted recovery system in a padded anaesthesia room. This combination ensures your horse undergoes the safest procedure with the best possible outcome for your horse.
Designed for the horses comfort
Our standing surgery theatre is air conditioned to maximise the comfort of the horses and there is a specially designed set of stocks to help restrain horses safely. This has enabled us to perform many surgeries standing that used to be exclusively completed under general anaesthetic, which in some cases is safer for the horse.
