Covering all aspects of racing work – we care for thoroughbreds in training in and around Newmarket from the day they enter pre-training to the day they leave the yard.
The team of racing vets are highly experienced and provide a personalised service which is tailored to each client.
The racing vets at Newmarket Equine Hospital provide care for over half the horses in training in Newmarket. From young trainers starting out to those with multiple group 1s under their belts – the racing team are an integral part of the yards that they work in. By offering a small team approach with a personalised service to every trainer – we can work together to optimise safety and performance for horses under your care.
Full mobile diagnostic equipment allowing for radiography, ultrasonography, endoscopy of upper and lower airways at rest and exercise means we can provide an extensive yard based service with the full support of the hospital and specialists as required.
We provide the veterinary cover to all the Newmarket Racecourse meetings, as well as many point to points across the area. Our vets are all qualified with the Association of Racecourse Veterinary Surgeons and are equipped out to provide a top quality service to all horses on course.
Alongside our services in export work, we provide vets to fly horses around the world. Whether for competition, racing or breeding reasons we have experienced flight vets who can ensure your horse arrives in optimal condition on arrival.
For racehorse owners and managers we provide veterinary consultancy services. Taking an overview of your horses from foal through their racing career to the breeding shed or point of sale, we can provide a continuous stream of knowledge whether from close quarters or afar.
