Annual Health Checks
During the months of November to February we offer annual health checks. This service provides an opportunity to have a thorough examination of your horse including a blood sample.
We aim to offer preventative healthcare by identifying potential problems before they become too serious. This examination is a real advantage for the older horse and hopefully provides reassurance that your horse is still safe to ride.
The annual health check includes:
- Assessment of general body condition
- Assessment of the heart and lungs at rest
- Assessment of the eyes
- Dental examination, including routine rasping if necessary.
- Blood sample – providing a screen for haematology
- Droppings sample for a worm egg count
- Opportunity for you to discuss any concerns regarding your horse
- A written report will be provided detailing all the findings of the health check
You can combine the above health check with the annual vaccination. The vaccine will be provided at a 20% discount. The cost of the annual health check is £100 including VAT plus any visit charge.
If you are interested in having an annual health check please call the office and speak to one of the vets.
