Equine Hospital
We are a multi-specialty referral group with expertise in surgery, internal medicine, diagnostic imaging, ophthalmology, dentistry, anaesthesia, pharmacology and emergency/critical care. We take great pride in being able to provide such a broad range of expert veterinary services across these disciplines as we have equipment and skills not commonly available in general veterinary practice.

The initiative aims to expand learning and research capabilities across the industry, and thereby encourage more skilled people within the industry to help it improve efficiency and solve problems.
