: Unlike humans, horses don’t have collarbones. Their shoulders are held to the rest of their skeleton via a sling of muscles and ligaments instead, often referred to as the “thoracic sling.”

Why is this important? We often ask our equine athletes to perform complex movements that require tremendous strength and coordination, and horses carry the majority of their weight in their front end. Therefore, it is imperative that the bulk of the muscles that support the front end are kept healthy and conditioned, and the horse is trained to use their “motor” — that is, engaging the large hind end muscles as much as possible to avoid excessive weight bearing on the front end.

If the front end of the horse is consistently overweighted or not at an appropriate level of fitness, repetitive biomechanical stresses get transferred down the leg to the smaller ligaments and tendons that were not designed to bear this weight, which can then lead to injury.

To Our Clients and the Sunshine Coast Community,

From Monday 29th April, Hinterland Equine Veterinary Services will no longer be providing an after-hours service to large animals. Horses and farm animals will still be seen during our regular business hours of Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm.

The decision to discontinue this part of our service has not been made lightly, and we understand the effect that this will have. However, faced with dwindling veterinary staff availability especially in equine practice, this is the only way we can continue to offer a normal-hours service.

In circumstances where an initial visit requires further care over the course of the disease, we are able to offer hospitalisation at our large animal clinic in Valdora for horses that have current Hendra vaccination status. Failing this, we will be providing other options to assist in the on-going clinical care of the animal.

Two mixed practice clinics on the Sunshine Coast who offer an ambulatory after hours service and have expressed a willingness to receive after-hours calls from our clients are:

👉Cooroora Veterinary Clinic (Cooroy):
(07) 5447 6733

👉Sunshine Coast Equine Vet Services (Caloundra): (07) 5491 6719

Additionally,

WestVETS (Anstead, Brisbane) offer a comprehensive service which includes full surgical options as well as emergency after hours care in their hospital:

👉WestVETS Equine Hospital
540 Mount Crosby Road, Anstead, QLD 4070 (07) 3202 7300

If your horse or farm animal shows symptoms of illness, discomfort, is injured or has a foot abscess early in the day, please don’t leave it until late in the afternoon or into the evening to call us and expect that we will be able to attend and provide medical care. We encourage being proactive about getting veterinary care and maintaining the health and wellbeing of your animal by:

⚫️Having your animals examined yearly, and adequately vaccinated
⚫️Have your horse’s dentals done annually by a veterinarian
⚫️Maintaining regular appointments with your trusted farrier
⚫️Have a plan established in the event that your animal requires transportation

It is important to establish a relationship with your Veterinarian and understand a little about how hard they work to provide the care that your animal needs, and deserves.

We appreciate you taking the time to read this important information.
