I think it’s fair to say Spring has sprung and everyone here at the practice have definitely been enjoying the better weather ☀️
We have also been enjoying our new facilities and are very pleased to share with our clients that our clinic has had a make over, which includes the installation of a brand new surfaced lunge pen 🥳🐴
We are really pleased to have finally had this installed at our clinic in Wendover and our team are really going to benefit from using it when carrying out lameness work ups and investigations!

A huge thank you to Elmtree Equestrian Construction who made the whole process so smooth from start to finish. The team were organised, efficient and very accommodating working alongside us with horses continuing to come and go into the clinic!

📖 These last couple of days some of our team at Wendover Park Equine Vets were busy keeping up to date with the latest knowledge in areas such as nutrition, poor performance, imaging and practice management at an equine conference.

🎖️There was also opportunity for recognition of all the hard work and team dedication of the last few months as the team was awarded runner up to Equine Practice of the Year and our incredible Practice Manager Georgina Nixon was the winner of Equine Non-Clinical Support of the year!

🐴 A big shout out to all of our dedicated clients and amazing patients for all the support and trust - We couldn’t have done it without You!

🌟 Welcome to Wendover Park Equine Vets 🌟

A dedicated equine-only practice opened in 2024 to care for the horses, ponies and donkeys of Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and surrounding areas. We offer comprehensive first opinion equine veterinary services on the road backed up with a fully equipped clinic providing inpatient care, diagnostic and operating facilities.

The name may be new but Wendover Park Equine is built on the partnership between two long established practices – Wendover Heights Equine at Halton, founded in 1965, and Park Vets in Watford which boasts over a hundred and twenty years of history. The combined team of caring and professional equine vets, nurses and support staff have a wide range of experience and skills to give the best of care to you and your horses.
We work from both sites with Clinical Director Ben Wakeling and Senior Vet Charlotte Giles leading the team of five further vets, three registered veterinary nurses and an equine technician.
Equine Co-ordinators Michelle and Natasha will still be the friendly and efficient first points of contact when you need us while Practice Manager, Georgina Nixon RVN, will ensure the smooth running of the practice.

🌟You can find out more about the team, facilities and services provided on our new website - www.wendoverparkequinevets.co.uk. Existing Wendover Heights and Park Equine clients should have received a service letter informing them of these changes. If you have not yet seen this, please view the link attached www.whvc.co.uk/equine-practice-merge-rebrand.
If you have any questions about the merge please feel free to contact our office and we will be very happy to help.🌟

❗️️Please be aware of changes to our opening hours and phone service️ -
Our office opening times have now changed, our calls will be answered in the office between the hours of 8.30am - 5.30pm. We will be running our emergency service between 5.30pm - 8.30am Monday - Friday and ALL weekend.
We will no longer be in the Halton office between 8.30am - 1pm on Saturday mornings.
❗️For clients collecting medication, the main reception areas in the small animal department at both WHVC Halton and Park Vets Watford will remain open between 8.30am - 6.30pm Monday-Friday.
Saturdays - WHVC Halton 8.30-1pm and Park Vets Watford 9am-12pm.
For our branch surgeries - WHVC Merrilaw (Prestwood) and Park Vets Leavesden (Abbots Langley) please refer to the small animal websites for open times or ask a member of staff when arranging things to collect.

❗️The main office contact number remains the same for previous Wendover Heights Equine clients but is new for Park Equine clients. The original Park Equine number is being diverted over to our new number but please make note of this change.
Some of our clients who also have small animals, may have our small animal office number saved, please make sure you have taken note of the new specific equine number 😊
☎️ 01296 621840
📧 [email protected]

And finally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our clients for their continued support and bearing with us whilst these two teams merge together.
We look forward to working with you all in the future to make sure your horses receive the best veterinary care possible 🐴

Kind regards
Georgina Nixon RVN + Practice Manager
