Equine
Many of our veterinarians and support staff are actively involved in equestrian activity, be this hunting, dressage, breeding or just owning horses and hacking, horses are never too far from the topic of conversation around the practice.We have vets at all clinics with a special interest in equine medicine, reproduction, nutrition and dentistry, among other areas. We have a wide range of equipment and skills, allowing us to service most equine veterinary requirements, including radiography, endoscopy, ultrasonography and dentistry. With the recent addition of the latest digital radiography technology, we are ideally placed to service clients in all aprts of the equine industry. Out vets are committed to continuing education and regularly attend relevant courses and conferences both in New Zealand and abroad.
Agistment facilities are available so those cases which require intensive or frequent care such as major wound repair can be managed. These facilities are also ideal for mares being programmed for artificial insemination or embryo transfer, where frequent scanning and checking is essential. Our equine clinic in Waipukurau has a holding yard with a loose-box and stocks, used mainly for equine dentistry, pregnancy scanning and radiography. Recently we have also added a specialist equine clinic for our Hastings clients based in Pakipaki. This facility includes purpose built horse stocks used mainly for equine dentistry, pregnancy scanning and radiography. As with the Waipukurau facility it is also ideal for mares being programmed for artificial insemination or embryo transfer, where frequent scanning and checking is essential.
