Annual wellness checksVaccinations
Parasite control & drench management.
Annual wellness checks
A yearly check helps catch issues early and keep your horse performing at its best. It includes:- A discussion of performance and concerns
- Clinical exam of respiratory, cardiac, GI function, and body condition
- Sedated oral exam to detect early dental disease
- Dental float if needed
- Weight check using our portable crush on request.
Vaccinations
Vaccines protect against serious, often sudden diseases. Prevention is far safer—and cheaper—than treatment.We recommend:
Tetanus
- 3-dose series + boosters every 5 years
- Deadly if untreated; found in soil/manure.
Strangles
- 3 doses, 2 weeks apart + annual booster
- Highly contagious; vaccine reduces severity.
Herpes (EHV)
- Begin at 4–6 months; boosters required
- Respiratory illness & abortion risk.
If your horse is injured and vaccination status is unknown, we can administer an anti-toxoid for short-term protection.
Parasite control & drench management
We tailor worming plans to each horse—saving you money and reducing resistance.Our approach:
- Faecal egg count monitoring
- Evidence-based treatment timing
- Spring deworming with moxidectin (Equest Plus) to target redworm.
Drop off fresh, refrigerated & labelled faecal samples at our clinic (within 24 hrs).
