We are supported by two registered equine surgeons who regularly visit the clinic to undertake surgery on both our own cases and those referred from the region. The most commonly undertaken surgeries include arthroscopies, sequestrum removals, cryptorchid and upper airway surgeries.

Our case load includes all that we love lameness, general surgery, medicine, farm calls, reproduction (natural, AI chilled and frozen, ET) and racetrack work.

We encourage students to participate and apply themselves in the activities going on within the clinic. We are keen to teach and provide as much experience as possible - including hands on practical experience.
Our busy time of year is September to May, placements of at least 2 weeks are encouraged to get as much as possible from your time at the clinic.
