🐎 INTRODUCING THE START OF OUR REMEDIAL FARRIERY CLINICS 🐎

**PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A REFERRAL SERVICE AND NOT IN REPLACEMENT OF THE SERVICE PROVIDED BY YOUR PRIMARY FARRIER**

Nick O'Sullivan DipWCF BSc (Hons) will be joining us on the Friday 1st December for the first our of combined vet and remedial farriery clinics at Thornton Wright Equine Practice, Fairfield Stud.

The saying 'No foot, No horse' couldn't be more true when it comes to keeping our favourite four legged friends comfortable and is essential when optimising athletic potential. Rowan and Nick have reunited to bring a clinic to Lincolnshire with the aim to offer a comprehensive referral package, utilising a wealth of combined experience, dynamic assessment and foot balance radiography to offer a multi-discipline approach to remedial farriery and the management of foot related conditions.

Nick will be available to carry out remedial farriery services guided by radiographs and veterinary advice to achieve the best outcome for the patient. It is our absolute intention to discharge each case back to your primary farrier. For this reason, any follow up remedial work will only take place for a maximum of three shoeing cycles and in full collaboration with the primary farrier.

We welcome primary farrier referrals of patients which may have ongoing orthopaedic disease, non-specific lameness or foot related conditions. We equally appreciate that sometimes you may just be stuck in a rut and would appreciate a second opinion.

Our radiography packages include the cost of sedation. All subsequent remedial farriery services provided by Nick will be charged separately on a case by case basis.

🌟 Consultation and Dynamic assessment (30 minute appointment):
£90 inc VAT

🌟 Consultation, dynamic assessment and foot balance radiographs of forelimbs: £275 inc VAT

🌟 Consultation, dynamic assessment and foot balance radiographs of all four limbs:
£350 inc VAT

Limited Spaces Available. To book an appointment please contact the Office at [email protected] or on 01652 240071.

Ruth then furthered her experience in equine husbandry under the Burton Hunt Kennels and later went on to groom at national events for the 5* event rider Mark Todd whilst looking after a string of eventers at home for the Hood family.
