We're sure you all know Sally, and what a fantastic vet she is. But did you realise that Sally has an impressive 25 years experience in both equine and small animal veterinary! 🤩

Sally isn't one to sing her own praises but her incredible dedication to the veterinary profession is an enormous achievement, and she's still out day and night putting her heart and soul into every single animal she sees. We would be lost without her here at the clinic and think she deserves some appreciation for the amazing job she does ✨️ We'd love it if you can share with us how Sally has impacted your pets lives, and a picture of your pet if you've got one!

"I think a bit of acupuncture just here will sort it..."

Do we think muscle therapy with Dr Spyro will be popular? 🐈🩺

(Please note- this pony belongs to Sally, all cats are kept out of the clinic when clients horses are in and no feline acupuncture is available we're afraid!)

Exciting opportunity to join the Stoven Hall Team!

We are looking for an equine groom to help expand our practice.

Paddock rest for horses recovering from injuries may seem like a simple enough instruction, but what do we really mean?

If your horse has had surgery or suffered an injury that requires box rest, they'll often have small paddock turnout advised during their recovery period. Now, a small paddock can be interpreted in many ways, but our advise is to start with an area no bigger than 2 stables. Your horse will likely want to have a whizz round after being box rested, and if the space is big enough for them to canter around they aren't paddock 'resting'!

Pictured below is a horse in week 5 of postoperative rest, in a space just slightly bigger than her stable. Do not hesitate to contact us with any queries during recovery periods with your horses 🐎

Warning: Graphic image!

Kita went out to see Gagman just prior to Christmas with this nasty looking area on his muzzle. She found a thorn burrowed into the tissue which had caused an abscess to form and then burst! The area was flushed and dead tissue removed, and the photo on the right shows Gagman now- hardly even a scar! 😃

Thank you to his lovely owner for letting us share his photos.

Introducing our new vet to the Stoven Hall team🤩

Kita joined us in November last year and some of you may have already met her out doing equine calls, seeing your horses in the clinic, or in small animal consult. Kita was working in a busy equine referral hospital prior to joining us at Stoven Hall, and has also spent time in Africa treating equines, small and farm animals there. She has a young TB mare called Cara who she is retraining from racing, and hopes to event this year. She also has a naughty cat called Spyro, who you might see round the clinic!

Kita enjoys all aspects of veterinary but particularly enjoys sports horse medicine and lameness, equine colic, and small animal internal medicine🐴🐱🐶

When she's not being a vet you'll find Kita either riding her horse, or behind an easel producing animal portraits! She's looking forward to meeting all the Stoven Hall clients and their animals!

Gastroscopy! 📸

Have you ever wondered what the inside of your horses stomach looks like? With our 3m gastroscope we are able to go into the stomach and have a good look around. This allows us to identify any lesions and diagnose Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome (EGUS) to advise on treatment.

Many horses have ulceration in their stomach and it can present in a variety of ways. Keep an eye on our page for more information on gastric ulcers soon!

If you are concerned your horse may have gastric disease, don't hesitate to get in touch with the clinic and we will be happy to help you.

After lovely Leo's adventures he's taking some well earned holiday from clinic duties, and we have a new intern trying to fill some very big (paws) shoes! 🐾
The bow tie might make him look the part, but this chap has got lots to learn yet to help with Leo's job!

Online nominations close on the 8th January 2024 and by post on the 15th of January.

After a number of worrying weeks, we have found him. He has been recuperating at the clinic after his adventure, and we are all so thrilled to have him home (we love this little guy so much). A big thank you to everyone for all your help and support.

Leo is missing

Leo has been part of the Stoven Hall Team for many years now; when not modelling our supplement range or posing on the red carpet for our paws on parade photographic competition or ambushing BBC’s Countryfile filming at Stoven Hall Vets in 2019 he would happily take over reception. Ultimately if there was chaos to be caused, Leo was usually involved in it somewhere, and I know many of you have come to know our three legged mascot.

Completely out of character Leo has disappeared. We have not seen him since Saturday lunchtime last week, and in spite of all our efforts to find him there is still not sign. We are absolutely devastated, the practice is not the practice without Leo, and we miss him terribly.

If you have seen him or know of his where abouts please contact the surgery by email [email protected], messenger on our page or the emergency practice mobile on 07917313432. If we could kindly ask you check outbuildings garages and sheds in case he has been accidentally shut in. Thank you.
