Happy St. Patrick’s Day from the Ascot team! ☘️

With only two Irish on the team— Dr. Annemarie and our head nurse Danika—we’re a little outnumbered, but that didn’t stop us from getting into the spirit of the day!

Even our mascots, Honey and Luna, reluctantly joined in on the fun (though we suspect they were more interested in snacks than celebrations). 🍀🐾

Wishing everyone a lucky and happy St. Paddy’s Day!

Double the Birthdays, Double the Celebrations! 🎉🎂

Amidst the fast-paced chaos of vet life, we took a moment to celebrate two of our incredible team members!

Hope’s birthday was on Tuesday, but since she was unwell, we made sure to make up for it today. And while Eeva tried to let her birthday slip under the radar… well, that was never going to happen!

A sugar high from the cake was just the boost we all needed to power through the last few hours of the day.

Happy Birthday, Hope & Eeva! We’re so lucky to have you both on the team! 💙🐴🎈

Emergency dental call! 🦷🚨

On Monday, Dr. Super Tom swooped in to save the day! Our patient fractured a canine over the weekend, exposing the pulp cavity—meaning we had just 24-48 hours to try and save it. Dr. Tom performed a vital pulpotomy (aka pulp capping procedure) to give this tooth the best chance of survival.

Who knew dental emergencies were a thing for horses? 🐴 If you did, drop a 🦷 in the comments!

Champion Effort from Alexia & Dutchy! 🏆🐴

This week, we had a special visit from our lovely client Alexia Sita and her talented horse Dutchy, who brought in their impressive prizes from the 2024 Cavallo Equestrian State Dressage Championships! They claimed Reserve Champion in the Competitor Advanced class—an achievement even more exciting for us, as Ascot Equine Vets was the proud sponsor of the class!

Congratulations, Alexia and Dutchy, on your fantastic performance! It’s always a pleasure to support and celebrate our clients’ successes in the equestrian world. 🎉👏

When The Vet Gets Bogged… 🚙💨

A huge shoutout to racehorse trainer Trevor Andrews for answering the call for help today! Dr. Hannah and Dr. Isabel found themselves in a sticky (or should we say sandy) situation when their ute got well and truly bogged in a paddock. 🤦‍♀️

Luckily, Trevor came to the rescue without hesitation, to save the day, proving that he’s not just a top trainer but also a top-notch tow truck substitute! 🚜👏

Thanks, Trevor—we owe you one! (Or maybe a few…)

Perth Magic Millions Yearling Sale 2025

One of the biggest weeks on the calendar for our stud clients has wrapped up! It’s been fantastic to see the yearlings we’ve known since foals—some even since conception—shine on the big stage, looking their absolute best.

A huge congratulations to the stud teams for all their hard work preparing these youngsters, and best of luck to the trainers and owners with their new purchases! We can’t wait to follow their journeys on the racetrack.

The sale also provided a great chance to catch up with fellow veterinarians and industry friends. And, of course, a big thank you to Michelle Meylan from Milne Feeds for keeping us fed and hydrated over the past few days—essential fuel for long sale days!

🚨 Breaking News! 🚨

Ascot Equine Vets has officially doubled its number of male vets! Welcome to the team, Dr. Freddie Mundy!

Freddie completed his veterinary training at Murdoch at the end of 2024 and has joined us as an intern veterinarian. He’s already diving into cases and settling in well.

Dr. Pete is relieved he’s no longer the only male vet on the team—though we’re not sure he’s ready to share the title just yet!

Be sure to say hi if you see Freddie out and about! 🐴👋

Another successful oral molar extraction with Dr. Tom from Perth Horse Dentistry!

Today’s patient was experiencing discomfort under saddle, and a thorough oral exam revealed two open pulp canals. X-rays confirmed an apical infection, and as you can see, the draining tract from the tooth root abscess was clearly present. Thanks to Dr. Tom’s expertise, this horse is now on the road to feeling much more comfortable!

A huge thank you to Dr. Tom for another fantastic job—your skill and dedication make all the difference!

Looks like we’ve got a new recruit! This little guy has taken over cleaning duties while his mum recovers—though we’re not sure if the floors or walls will be any cleaner with his antics. Either way, he’s officially on the payroll!

Bon Voyage Dr Amanda 😢✈️

Yesterday, we said a bittersweet goodbye to our vet, Dr Amanda. Amanda has been an invaluable part of the Ascot Equine Vets team for the past two years. She began her journey with us as an intern vet in 2022, and transitioned into an associate role thereafter. It’s been so rewarding to watch her grow and develop her skills as an equine vet during this time.

Not only has Amanda been a dedicated, talented, and compassionate team member, but she’s also brought plenty of laughs and good humor to the clinic. Her fun and vibrant presence will be dearly missed by us all.

We wish Amanda all the best as she embarks on an exciting journey around the world. Safe travels - we hope your adventures are as incredible as you are!

Out of heartbreak, beauty can blossom. 🌸

This precious pair reminds us of the incredible resilience and love in the equine world. After the tragic loss of her foal, this remarkable mare has stepped up to care for this orphaned foal, who also faced the devastating loss of her mum. Together, they’ve found comfort, companionship, and a new beginning. 💕

We are so grateful to the mare’s owners for their generosity and compassion in allowing her to become a foster mum. It’s a beautiful reminder that even in the face of loss, life has a way of creating something extraordinary.

Thank you to everyone who helped spread the word and supported us in this journey. Your kindness made this connection possible. Life truly is beautiful. 🌟

Swipe through for some adorable moments, including a cheeky tongue-out moment and a tender sniff from mum. 🥰
