Comprehensive horse vettings in Worplesdon, GU3
Are you thinking about adding a new horse to your family? A pre-purchase veterinary examination is a must. This important assessment will give you critical information about the horse's overall health and suitability and will also qualify them for insurance.
Here at Surrey Hills Equine, our experienced vets do pre-purchase examinations for all our clients. Our process begins with a thorough static examination, which includes checking vital signs, heart, lungs, eyes, teeth, and limbs while the horse is standing still. We then assess the horse's movement and flexibility at walk and trot, with and without joint flexion, to identify any lameness or stiffness.
The horse will then undergo an exercise phase, often ridden, to evaluate their respiratory and cardiac health under exercise. This will reveal any underlying issues that may only become apparent during exercise. After exercise, we will allow a rest period during which we will review all relevant paperwork, conduct a final check for any new abnormalities, and take a blood sample for laboratory analysis. This will test for prohibited substances and ensure transparency in the purchase process. We can also take radiographs at this stage if necessary.
Finally, the horse will be trotted by hand again to check for any new issues that have arisen after the exercise. This thorough examination will reduce the risks and enable you to make an informed decision about the horse's health and future performance.

Our horse vets can provide a complete range of services, including:
Lameness and poor performance
Lameness issues can inflict pain on your horse and cause concern and disruption for you as an owner. Our goal is to identify the cause of the problem and recommend suitable treatment to get your horse back to normal as quickly as possible.
The lameness investigation may involve various procedures, including the examination of your horse's conformation, movement, stride, and limb placement, flexion tests, palpation of the limbs and muscles, examination at walk and trot in hand and on the lunge, ridden examination, nerve or joint blocks, and X-ray or ultrasound.
Gastroscopy
Equine gastric ulcer syndrome (EGUS) is increasingly acknowledged as a common culprit behind various clinical signs, including poor performance, behavioural changes, reduced appetite, lacklustre coat condition, and discomfort during girthing.
All horses face the risk of developing ulcers, with contributing factors such as a high-carbohydrate diet, intense training or competition schedules, and stressors like illness or changes in routine, such as box rest.
Using a gastroscope, we can visually inspect the horse's esophagus, stomach and proximal duodenum to confirm the presence of ulcers. Since ulcer treatment can be costly, a thorough stomach examination through gastroscopy is recommended before initiating any treatment.
Mobile diagnostic imaging
Surrey Hills Equine employs cutting-edge portable wireless diagnostic imaging tools, including Digital X-ray systems, Ultrasound Scanners, and Video Endoscopy, delivered directly to clients' premises. This innovative approach allows us to provide the convenience of on-site examinations, eliminating the need to transport horses.
Our horse vets may recommend additional diagnostic imaging, whether it is for lameness investigations, pre-purchase examinations (vetting), dental or head-related concerns, or assessments of upper airways for respiratory conditions or Strangles cases.
Endoscopy
Endoscopy is a valuable tool for assessing the respiratory tract, especially in horses facing respiratory issues or exhibiting poor performance.
The procedure involves passing a flexible camera, known as an endoscope, through your horse's nostril, pharynx, larynx, and down the trachea, with the option to examine the guttural pouches.
