It’s a bold statement, but one we wholly stand by. Every day, we see the benefits that our purpose-built surgical and inpatient facilities bring to horses and ponies across Oxfordshire and the surrounding counties.
When your horse requires surgical or specialist treatment, being able to carry out the majority of procedures right here at the clinic means they don’t have to travel to an external referral hospital. This is especially important when horses are in pain, distressed, or require urgent intervention.
Our modern equine clinic is equipped to deliver advanced equine surgery on site, combining specialist expertise with state-of-the-art facilities.
We regularly welcome Neil Townsend and the team from The Equine Dental Clinic, who carry out a full range of specialist equine dental procedures within our clinic. This helps minimise stress and travel for horses requiring complex dental surgery.
Our equine vets work closely with Dr Jessica Kidd, an RCVS and European Specialist in Equine Surgery, to provide a comprehensive range of elective and emergency surgeries, including:
Arthroscopy for injury diagnosis and treatment
Arthroscopy for OCD fragment removal
Arthroscopy for septic joint flushes
Tenoscopy
Fracture repair
Castration, including abdominal cryptorchid (‘rig’) surgery
Upper airway surgery (e.g. Hobdays, tie-backs)
Kissing spine surgeries (interspinous ligament desmotomy and dorsal spinous process resection)
Sarcoid and melanoma removal
Sinus surgery
Soft tissue surgery
Laser surgery
Our purpose-built clinic includes:
Dedicated equine operating theatre
Seven inpatient stables
Modern stocks for safe standing surgery
Isolation facilities
On-site diagnostic imaging and laboratory
With facilities for both standing sedation in our stocks and general anaesthesia in the operating theatre, we can tailor surgical decision-making to what is safest and most appropriate for each individual patient.
We are the only purpose-built equine clinic to offer equine surgery in Oxfordshire with a full surgical suite.
In most cases, your horse receives expert care without the need for referral travel.
We work with leading specialists to provide advanced procedures on-site.
Our team is experienced, compassionate, and available for 24/7 emergency support.
