Equine Services

At Prebbleton Veterinary Hospital, we’re proud to provide comprehensive care for horses — from beloved paddock companions to high-performance athletes. Our experienced equine veterinarians offer a full range of ambulatory and hospital-based services to ensure your horse’s health, comfort, and performance at every stage of life.

With a strong focus on prevention, advanced diagnostics, and hands-on expertise, we’re equipped to manage everything from routine healthcare to complex surgical and reproductive cases. Our goal is simple — to keep your horse sound, healthy, and performing at their best.

Lameness Assessment & Treatment

Soundness is key to your horse’s wellbeing and performance. Our team uses thorough clinical examinations, flexion tests, nerve blocks, and digital imaging to accurately identify the cause of lameness. We then develop tailored treatment plans that may include corrective shoeing, physiotherapy, joint medication, or rehabilitation support.

Surgery & Dentistry

Our equine surgical services range from wound repairs and castrations to soft tissue and orthopaedic procedures. We also offer professional equine dentistry — including dental floating, extractions, and oral health assessments — to ensure your horse eats comfortably and performs at their best.

Preventive Healthcare

Prevention is at the heart of good horsemanship. We provide routine health checks, vaccinations, deworming schedules, dental exams, and nutritional advice to keep your horse in peak condition. Our wellness programmes are designed to reduce the risk of disease and promote long-term health.

Reproduction & Stud Work

Our reproduction services support both mares and stallions through all stages of breeding. From pregnancy scanning and artificial insemination to foal care and fertility testing, our experienced team ensures safe, effective reproductive management for optimal breeding outcomes.

Performance Support

Whether your horse competes, works, or simply enjoys an active lifestyle, our performance support services help maximise their potential. We offer fitness assessments, nutritional guidance, and treatment for performance-related conditions to keep your horse moving comfortably and confidently.
