Our Services
A Range of Care Options
Sports Medicine
We have invaluable experience gained in the field of sports medicine, working with some of the best vets, riders, farriers and, of course, horses. We aim to use this experience to the benefit of all our clients, whether they ride at Grand Prix, professional or amateur competition levels, or simply for pleasure. The work we do can provide the extra 5% you need, and we believe every horse can and should have the benefit of our craft.
Lameness
Foot balance, joint problems, tendon or ligament injuries, conformation or muscular issues can all cause lameness. Using experience, knowledge (and the latest technology), we specialise in fixing lameness issues with your horse.
Gastric Ulcers
Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome is a wide reaching disease in horses – have you noticed a drop in condition of your horse? Or an apparent soreness in the back or resentfulness during tacking up? These could be common signs of the disease. We specialise in diagnosing and treating horses suffering from this debilitating illness.
Pre-Purchase Examinations
Buying a horse can be a stressful business and you need to know that it is capable of fulfilling the role for which you need it. We will work with you, providing a thorough and honest assessment of any horse which you are considering purchasing. Using the latest X-Ray equipment and drawing on years of experience, we will give you peace of mind and assurance that you are buying the horse that is right for you.
Full diagnostics
At Stride Equine Vets, we use the latest modern technology to us give accurate diagnoses of potential issues with your horse. We have new, state of the art, fully wireless mobile X-Ray and Ultrasound equipment, ensuring that we can get high quality diagnostic images wherever you need us, without any need to take your horse to a hospital. We also offer endoscopy, and are able to visualize the internal structures of your horse – be it airways, lungs, or gastric ulcers.
Internal medicine
Cushing’s, skin problems, infections, neurological issues, allergies or coughing can all affect your horse’s health and performance. We use gastroscopies, ultrasound scanning and blood-work, combined with our know-how, to bring your horse back to their best possible condition.
Regenerative therapies
Stem cell therapy, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), and ‘IRAP’ Therapies all utilize the horse’s own healing mechanisms to cure injuries and disease. They are at the cutting edge of modern medical science. By using blood manufactured healing mechanisms tailored from your own horse’s body, we are able to fix and improve a multitude of injuries and degenerative processes without the risk of positive testing at competitions or potential side effects from traditional medicinal intervention.
