🌟 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.parkveterinary.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.🌟

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.

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 😊

Horses’ teeth act as a single grinding unit. They should be tightly grouped together and come into direct contact with the opposite teeth in the mouth. If there are any extras or missing

any, then some teeth may not have an opposing teeth to grind against. This can lead to dental overgrowths, fractures or the teeth may come out of alignment. For more information on your horse’s dental health, why not speak to a member of our team on 01923 229 300?

Sometimes, horse’s baby teeth can become stuck above the adult teeth below as they start coming though, so occasionally, these will need taking out. It’s best to start dental checks when your horse is young to get them used to the instruments and what to expect, rather than wait until there is an issue and your horse’s mouth is already sore. Give us a call to book them in for a dental exam on 01923 229 300

Prevention is better than cure, now is the time to start thinking about laminitis. The spring grass is starting to come through so, consider limiting grazing, soaking hay and muzzling to prevent weight gain. It is good practice to monitor your horse's weight with a weigh tape, this allows you to adjust hay/feed/grass consumption and increase exercise if a gain in weight is recorded. If you suspect even the earliest signs of laminitis, you should call us as soon as possible.

Equine asthma can be hard to recognise, is it just a cough or could it be more? If you're worried your horse may be suffering, contact us on 01923 229 300 to discuss possible treatment plans.

Once horses start getting bitten by the midges and show signs of sweet itch, they will find anything and everything to scratch against. Now is the best time to start paddock maintenance - fence off any trees or posts that the horse could use as a scratching device and cut back any overhanging branches from trees. If your horse rubs in the stable, try to cover these areas with protective material (you'd be surprised what you can do with a simple pool noodle!). Our vets are available to discuss different medical treatments, give us a call on 01923 229 300 today to see how we can help!

Don't forget, the clocks jump forward an hour tonight!

Happy Easter everyone!

It's Good Friday! We hope you enjoy the long weekend with your equine companions!

Sweet itch might only start to affect most horses when the weather starts warming up and the midges reappear but, the key to good sweet itch management is to start preventative treatment as soon as possible. Rug up now with a good sweet itch rug and, if you feed any supplements, start introducing them to feeds now. Don't forget, various medical management tools are also available, so please speak to your vet about these as they may be able to improve your horses condition and make them more comfortable.

Equestrians have been known to be quite creative with their horses, from nappy poultices to underwear eye patches. But how creative are you when it comes to decorating the yard for Christmas? Do you have tinsel hanging? A yard Christmas tree? Or perhaps a token advent calendar for your horse? We want to see your best decorations in the comments, the more creative the better!

Today on the Christmas countdown we want to see your horses' best smiles! Comment your best pictures below :D

On the countdown to Christmas, we want to have a bit of fun and see the best and worst of your horses! Kicking off with the naughtiest horse or pony, share your pictures and videos in the comments!

The AA recommend keeping your lorry fully topped up with fuel when being left standing for a while. This means less water can get in and prevents condensation.

It's Black Friday today! Help a fellow equestrian out and let us know if you see any bargains!

Checking over your trailer or horsebox at the end of the season is a great way to see if there’s any moisture lurking around that needs to be aired out. Especially checking ramps and flooring to ensure there’s no areas that are starting to or could potentially rot.

It’s that time of year again when the clippers are coming out. Most of us have experimented with clipping thinking ‘How hard can it be?!’ We want to see your best and worst clips, from the imaginative and intricate, to the wonky lines and missed patches. Comment below with your best or worst! 🫣🫣🫣

With one week to go we can officially start talking about Halloween! Did you know that horses can eat your regular, orange, Halloween pumpkins? Why not try baking them a tasty snack with our recipe below!

With Halloween and Bonfire Night just around the corner, it's a good time to start thinking about preparing your horses for fireworks. If you're planning on leaving your horses out, make sure to check all the fencing is safe and secure. If you choose to bring them in, consider leaving a radio playing for the horses.
