At NEH we are privileged to have a purpose built theatre suite, designed taking the best from human and veterinary surgical facilities worldwide. These features allow us to deliver the highest standards in theatre hygiene which are critical to successful surgical outcomes.
This horse has a fracture of the central tarsal bone in the hock. You can see in the video how NEH surgeon Will Barker used a screw to reduce and stabilise the fracture - with the screw in place, the gap at the fracture site is closed up.
The Cross country phase of the CCI4*S is now underway at Barefoot Retreats Burnham Market International Horse Trials. The first horse around, Tiger Mail ridden by Phoebe Buckley and owned by NEH client Val Gingell, jumps the NEH Quarry and Logs finishing with a double clear round. Well done to them.

Following on from last weeks featured fracture, here's another minimally invasive fracture repair carried out by surgeon Will Barker. This video shows the recovery of a foal with a complicated fracture of its cannon bone. We wish the foal all the best in his future eventing career!
Here’s the Dummy Foal we posted about yesterday, minutes after vet Sally Bate performed the Madigan Foal Squeeze Procedure. The foal responded really well and was up and nursing in no time. A great outcome, well done Sally and team!
Thank you to Jinks James for the video.
Wishing all of our clients, staff and followers a very merry Christmas!
