To all our valued clients,
We want to reassure you that Cambridge Equine Clinic remains dedicated to providing the highest level of care and service to you and your horses. Our commitment to your horse's health and well-being continues to be our top priority.
In light of recent changes, we thought it would be helpful to publish our responses to some of the questions that have come our way recently.
Who are the team at Cambridge Equine Clinic?

Cambridge Equine Clinic will continue to be an independent, not-for-profit practice, dedicated to supporting the well-being of your horses.

Alongside our experienced team, we have outstanding clinical facilities at our vet school site. For more involved cases and in-patient care, we offer:
Three treatment rooms with stocks, 24 Stables for In-Patient Care, brand-new Isolation Block and a fully equipped Equine operating theatre
Our advanced diagnostic and therapeutic equipment includes:

Our fully equipped equine operating theatre enables elective surgical procedures to be carried out under general anaesthesia, either by our Veterinary Surgeons or visiting specialists when appropriate.

What Should I Do if My Horse (or Donkey) Needs Emergency Treatment?
If your horse or donkey requires emergency care during our working hours (8:45 AM – 5:15 PM), please contact our office at 01223 760535. One of our vets will attend to your animal promptly.
For out-of-hours emergencies, our equine vets are available 24/7. You can reach them by calling the same number. As has been the case for the last number of years, if the attending vet determines that the situation is a surgical emergency, and you wish to pursue an emergency surgical treatment, we will arrange for referral to the nearest appropriate equine referral hospital. We have strong links with local referral centres and we will continue to assist with your horse’s care once they have been discharged from hospital.
Who Should I Call for Advice?
Our vets and nurses are always happy to provide advice at any time, free of charge. For any questions or concerns, just call our office at 01223 760535. For non-urgent inquiries, feel free to send us an email [email protected], especially if photos would assist in your query.
Thank you for trusting us with your horse's care. If you have any questions or need to schedule an appointment, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
