Cotts Equine Hospital

10/09/2025

The new Cowbridge Hospital continues to take shape with our latest recruits, and we are very excited to introduce you to two fabulous additions to the practice - Ashton and Jasmine.

Ashton has joined the team as our Practice Business Assistant, primarily supporting Cowbridge, but also assisting at our Swansea and Narberth sites.

Jasmine joins the veterinary team, having spent the last two years working at a busy hospital in Berkshire, gaining experience in a fast-paced clinical environment following her graduation from Cambridge University.

Both are looking forward to meeting you in due course, as much as we are sure you are looking forward to meeting them.

Welcome to you both. We are delighted to have you join the team.

Please welcome Receptionist Ellie!

Ellie has spent her life around horses having grown up on the family farm in Haverfordwest. In fact, she loves all Sport, but has a particular passion for our national sport - rugby (not that any of you needed that clarifying after 'national' and 'sport'!) 🏈

She is also a fluent welsh speaker, so anyone who has a preference for communicating through the medium of welsh; Ellie is your girl!

After a busy day in Pembrokeshire yesterday visiting the sites, Snoop called off to see his second passion after football at work at our Narberth practice.

It was a great afternoon for all involved and we hope he comes back again soon.

POV: When you ask the Vet for some footage of the show they are attending and don't quite get what you expected 🤣🤣

Given the current temperatures, it seemed appropriate to re-share this short video from Holly, originally posted a few years ago.

The temperatures aren't set to change for a while, so please take a few minutes to watch for some top tips.

This weekend promises to be a scorcher, but looking after you will be James in Cowbridge, Ilaria P in Swansea and Teresa in Pembs. Please call 01834 860871 if you need them.

Its that time of the week again when James' offers some more advice in his blog, and this week, the obvious choice is Fly Control given the current run of weather we are experiencing.

And, just as we did last week, we have a fabulous bundle for one lucky winner - to help you get through the mid week hump, and keep your horse summer happy.

All you have to do, is name one of the four key strategies that James recommends for the control of Flies and also share your top tip for this summer irritation.

The winner will be selected at random on Friday morning at 9am.

As always, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
