Yesterday we had a big day of foals. Congratulations to two of our clients with beautiful foals overnight (both artificially inseminate at Equitait Veterinary Practice last year, with local stallions) then one snoozy chap who came in with his Mum and was so chilled he had a little lie down.

As part of our Stud Farm which operates over two sites at Lauder and Duns we are making more ground and barn space available for equine purposes. We have spaces for summer grass liveries, DIY liveries with stables, retirement liveries, as well a number of packages for the care of broodmares, stallions and youngstock. Certain areas may suit someone with multiple horses.

For enquiries please Whatsapp message the office mobile on 07776688646.

Both locations have exceptional off road hacking. With the equine veterinary practice now having a base on both sites the vets are part of the team performing regular checks, as well as dealing with any emergencies.

For our retirement livery offering please see our website - https://equitait.com/services/retirement-livery/

Dear All,

To mitigate our increased costs as a result of recent governmental budget changes you will see a modest increase in some of our fees.

Thankyou for your on-going support - we truly love supporting you and your 4 legged friends.

Best wishes, The Team at Equitait Veterinary Practice.

STRANGLES VACCINE YARD UPDATES - We completed another 2 whole yards yesterday in East Lothian and Midlothian. Anecdotally, it is thought in Sweden between 70 - 80% of horses are now vaccinated so while we're a bit behind, we are catching up fast. The advantage of many horses having been done in Sweden is there is good data that the vaccines are safe and effective.

Good luck to those competing at Duns Castle today. We will be about at Duns if anyway wants to chat to us about the strangles vaccine or enter our prize draw. For those elsewhere today enter below.

Under our March strangles vaccination promotion we did our first whole livery yard today. Congratulations to the East Lothian yard in question for taking such a proactive approach to strangles control.

Equitait Strangles Vaccination Campaign

Start your horse's strangles vaccination in March and we'll give you the second vaccination of the primary course free of charge.

We have a client factsheet on the strangles vaccines which we can send out if you contact the practice or comment "factsheet" below.

We will be inviting small groups of yard owners/managers to chat about the options of utilising the vaccine into their biosecurity measures. If you would like to come along or nominate your yard manager please tag yourself or them below.
