✨ Celebrating 4 Years of Gemma! ✨
Today, we’re raising a huge cheer for our amazing groom, Gemma, who celebrates four incredible years with Loch Leven Equine Practice! 🎉🐴

From early mornings to busy clinic days, Gemma brings endless energy, kindness, and care to every horse (and human!) she meets. Her calm presence, attention to detail, and passion for what she does make her such a brilliant and treasured part of our team (as well being as our dental assistant queen! 👑🦷)

Gemma, thank you for everything you give to the practice. Your hard work, your heart, and your humour make LLEP a brighter place every single day. Here’s to many more years of laughs, teamwork, and horses who adore you as much as we do. 💙

From advanced imaging to surgical services, your horse gets top-quality diagnostics and treatment - meaning you get peace of mind and continuity should you need more than routine care.

🏞️ Friendly, Local, Family-Run Practice

🌟 It’s time for another Three Things You Didn’t Know, and this week it is all about our brilliant Equine Vet, Francesca Wood👩‍⚕️🐴

Here are three very cool things about Francesca, that you might not know:
1️⃣ I have one sister who is also an equine vet - but on the other side of the world in Australia.

2️⃣ I am half Maltese and half Scottish. A useful combination for when the Scottish weather isn’t cooperating!

3️⃣ I love snorkelling and will always find new places to explore when I’m on holiday or visiting my family in Malta.

Thank you Francesca for your interesting and clutured facts.

💙💙We notice💙💙
We notice the way you stroke your horse - like only a true animal lover understands.
We notice that you take pride in your stables.
We notice that your horse is probably wearing more expensive rugs than you are clothes.
We notice that your horse wants for nothing.
We notice the love.
We notice the hope.
We notice the sadness.
And when the time comes we feel the pain of saying goodbye.

Because we care.

🎵 Oh what a night 👏🏼

What an epic night, with lots of laughter and great community fun.

A big thank you to everyone who came and took part in our Pub Quiz evening - it really was the best fun, and together we raised an incredible £825 towards a community defibrillator ❤️❤️

Of course it takes a big team to make evenings like this happen, so a big thank you to all of the local businesses, and people that helped and supported 💙

🦷We have recently been very lucky to welcome visiting veterinary surgeon Alice Hughes to help with the advanced dental case load. Jenny and Alice treated four different horses in the clinic with infundibular caries lesions in various teeth.

It’s fantastic having great relations with local veterinary surgeons with various different specialties, so that we can all work together for the greater good of the horses in our community, and we look forward to welcoming Alice back again soon.💙
