In May we had the pleasure of inviting Alex Hawkins and his second year surgery resident Pius Spiesshofer from RVC Equine to our clinic to perform back surgery on one of our patients. We are glad to report that he has been doing very well through the first few weeks of his rehabilitation and we look forward to seeing what he gets up to in the future on his return to athletic work! 👨🏻⚕️💉🩸
A couple of weeks ago this little one managed to get herself in trouble whilst rubbing her face. Lauren visited her in the early of hours of the morning to patch her lower eyelid up and we were very glad to see this week that she is healing very nicely and is right back to her usual cheeky self! 🪡💉👁️
We hope you are all having a lovely Bank Holiday Weekend! Our on call vet has spent hers welcoming this cheeky little foal to the outside world!🐴💕
We would love to see what you have all been up to with your ponies in the comments 💙

Our latest blog about our Gastric Health Month which is running until the end of May is available on our website.
If you’re wondering what the difference is between ESGD and EGGD and what these acronyms mean then head over to our blog to find out more!
Our Gastric Health Month in May has our usual once monthly (first Tuesday) Gastroscopy Clinic Price (20% reduced fee) applied to all scopes out on visits as well as the clinic. Get in touch if you have questions or want to find out more 🐎
May is Clarendon Equine's Equine Gastric Health Month. We're making sure your horse's gastric health is as good as it can be this month.
Foaling season is officially here! This lovely mare recently required an emergency out of hours visit, after she retained her foetal membranes post-foaling. This condition can be fatal without prompt intervention. Thankfully she responded to treatment and passed the rest of the membranes intact. Mum and baby are now doing well, although we suspect she’s going to have her hands full with this boisterous boy!
May is our gastric health month 🐎
Our usual 20% off once monthly gastroscopy clinic rate is extended this month to all gastroscopes throughout May.
Do you have questions about how ulcers differ from glandular disease? We’ll be covering lots of tips and topics about equine gastric health this month so post any questions you’d like answering in the comments and we’ll get the evidence based information out to or during our social posts in May!

A couple of weeks ago two of our vets Dani & Lauren had the pleasure of attending Billericay Riding Clubs Spring Camp held at Radley Green Equestrian Centre. The evening was an interactive session including a dissection and lots of interesting talking points involving distal limb anatomy and hoof health. We hope that everyone who attended had as much fun as we did and enjoyed the rest of their weekend on the camp!
May is our gastric health month where we’re discussing all things related to the health of the equine stomach!
Our gastroscopy clinic rate is extended to all gastroscopes carried out in May which are 20% off the usual price of a gastroscope.
A gastroscopy examination uses a very small thin endoscope which is passed via the nostril and swallowed. This is then advanced all the way down their oesophagus until we reach the stomach. This is the most reliable way to provide an accurate picture of what may be going on in your horses stomach.
If you have any questions about the procedure then we’d be happy to answer them for you and put your mind at rest about how it is carried out.
Are you recognising any of these symptoms of gastric ulcers in your horse or pony?

Spot the Welshies! This week we had three lovely Welsh ponies in the clinic for advanced dental work by Equine Dentistry Referrals. Each patient required an extraction of a cheek tooth, a procedure that requires a lot of skill and even more patience! Happily everything went very well and we hope these ponies will be much more comfortable now 🙂
Please join us in wishing our Vet Dani a very Happy Birthday! 🥳🎂🎈we hope she’s enjoying her well earned day off! ✨
Fantastic to see one of our lovely clients and patients back out and enjoying what they both love!
This handsome lad came to visit us due to becoming lame in front this winter, after a lameness work-up at our clinic and some diagnostic imaging we located the pain to his feet and then more specifically his coffin joints. Following the diagnosis of significant side bone and osteoarthritis in both coffin joints at just 11 years old we opted for intra-articular treatment with Arthramid. After a short period of rest and rehab here he is back in the show ring this weekend. We wish them all the best for this season and look forward to seeing them out again soon!
A few months ago we posted about a patient of ours that was diagnosed with kissing spines. This is where the spinous processes (the uppermost parts of the spine) are too close together, causing friction and pain. In February she underwent surgery at our clinic to correct this.
The photos below show X-rays from before (first 2 images) and during surgery. The blue lines mark the edges of the spinous processes. As you can see, the surgery involves changing the shape of the processes dramatically. This widens the gaps in between, stopping the processes contacting each other.
The surgery was completed under standing sedation and went very well. The mare is now in her rehabilitation phase, which is crucial for a good outcome in these cases. We wish her all the best going forwards.
Many thanks to the owner for permission to share her story.
Apologies, our phone lines and internet are currently down ☹️There is a fault on the line but our engineers are trying to get this fixed. Please bear with us. Our phones have been diverted to a mobile so if you need us for an emergency, you will still be able to get through.🙏
Happy Easter 🐣 to all our clients! Wishing you a lovely relaxing long weekend and time to enjoy your horses on at least one dry day hopefully!
We’re on call over the weekend if you need us and our reception is back open at 08:30am on the 2nd April.
Enjoy your Easter eggs 🥚 and any new arrivals with spring in the air!

Last night’s new arrival - this cute little filly was born just before 11pm last night 🥰
Our students this week Laura and Olivia got stuck in with some shockwave treatment on our patient Luna’s back 😄 It’s a brilliant addition to rehabilitation for back pain which in luna’s case was due to some impinging spinous processes
🌟A warm welcome to our newest member of our reception team Emma Barrow! We’re thrilled to have you on board with us! 🌟 And also wishing her and her Horse Harry all the luck at the London International Horse Show! He was tucking into a Christmas Freddo in preparation for the show 😆🎄
A little throwback to our laser clinic last week which our vet Danielle organised for our clients. Here’s a little clip of this whopper of a sarcoid we removed on the day - we had to weigh it afterwards and at half a kilo it’s one of the largest we’ve seen for a while! We’ll update with some follow ups on the cases of how they’re all healing very soon! Thanks to Excel Lasers Ltd. For the machine trial - we’ll be looking at investing in one next year!
Do you find lameness examinations a little confusing at times? As we’re starting to use the Sleip gait analysis software more and more in the clinic and out on the road we thought we’d share with you some of the data it generates when we’re using it for a lameness exam and follow up analysis after nerve blocks have been performed. Here’s a little screen recording to walk you through the wonderful tool we now have access too! We can also invite you to record your horse again during the rehabilitation period and after treatment so it’s easy to see at a glance what level of improvement has been made compared to the initial examination. If you have any questions about it then we’d be happy to answer them 😊 #equinelameness #equinevet #equinegaitanalysis #equinesportsmedicine #horses
A little clip of the Sleip gait analysis software in action. Strides can be recorded in a straight line and lunging to gather accurate data during lameness examinations to complement what we’re seeing and investigating for you. It’s as simple as us recording your horses movement for 30 seconds on each rein and in a straight line. Then we set the software to analyse for a few minutes while we discuss what we’re seeing during the examination for you. We’ll always aim to give you the data on how your horse is moving during every lameness assessment. Get in touch if you’d like to know more!
Calling all owners of ex-racehorses! The first ever census of ex-racing Thoroughbreds in Britain is underway. This is a really important initiative aimed at increasing traceability of racehorses after they finish their racing career. The information gathered will contribute towards education, welfare and infectious disease control, as well improving the sustainability of the racing industry overall. So if you have an ex-racer, please take a moment to complete the census. The closing date is 31st December 2023. The census can be found here: https://uwe.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8bNJFzR2FB95ZlQ
Have you been looking into steaming hay at your yard? Our partners at Hestevard have partnered with Nuveq equine to provide a client discount on their hay steamers. We’ve been discussing the benefits of steaming hay for horses with equine asthma and outbreaks of liver disease due to the beneficial effect of killing moulds/fungi/bacterial toxins. These are so often responsible for and Implicated in equine asthma and liver disease in groups of horses that it can be well worth using a hay steamer to mitigate this risk if there are known sufferers at your yard.

🎉🍾 Our first AI foal of the year arrived safe and well. We are so thrilled for this little chaps owner Lauren Ross and family. His dam is a first time mum and she is being fantastic. Our vet Kelly Louise was the midwife on call and we are happy the foaling went smoothly. An IGG test was carried out the following day, the test is so simple yet so important to check the foal had absorbed enough antibodies from the mares colostrum. All was well. We are now just happily watching him enjoying life.❤️❤️❤️❤️

So lovely to see one of your patients tucking into their hay 24hrs after a tooth extraction. Jiggy had a fractured molar on the left upper arcade. The side of this tooth had come away was identified during a routine dental examination under sedation. Jiggy required a minimally invasive technique to extract this tooth as the crown further crumbled and fractured when a standard extraction was attempted. Nicole from the equine dental clinic performed this procedure by inserting a screw into the fractured root via a small incision in the cheek. The tooth could then repulsed back into the mouth. As you can see from the second photo - it was a bit of a jigsaw! We’re so pleased that Jiggy has been comfortable and doing well after her extraction!
