Our teams consist of Internationally recognised surgical and medicine equine specialists with extensive experience and expertise, having national and international reputations, written scientific papers and published in text books and scientific journals. Our specialists are all invited to speak regularly at national and international meetings and teach on continuing education courses for other members of our profession. 

Our hospital is staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, so your horse will be supervised around the clock. There is always at least one veterinary surgeon on site throughout the night.
