🌟 Why Choose Linkswood Equine Vets? 🌟

Proudly independent • Compassionate care • Outstanding facilities

Linkswood Equine Vets has been serving the equine community for just over three years, operating from the renowned Linkswood Veterinary Centre—already well-known for its exceptional small animal care.

As a fiercely independent, non corporate, practice, every decision we make is focused on one thing: providing the very best care for your horse. We are based just outside of Sudbury and cover a 30mile radius around the area.

🏥 State-of-the-Art Facilities

Our purpose-built equine clinic allows us to hospitalise and care for horses, ponies and donkeys.
All our stables are equipped with fluid lines, and all are monitored via CCTV for the safety and comfort of critical patients.

We provide:
• Same-day in-house blood analysis (no postal delays)
• Fully mobile equipment for ambulatory work- we can literally xray and ultrasound anywhere, it’s all battery operated!
• A large on-site arena for comprehensive lameness investigations, we use all regenerative therapies such stem cells, Arthramid, Platelet rich plasma and Alpha 2 Macroglobulin for our sport horse and competitive clients
• we offer Gastroscopy and standing surgical procedures with regular visiting specialists in both surgery and medicine
• we can offer Hospitalisation for medical colics and urgent medical cases, we have been known to sleep in stables overnight with our patients! 🐴😇
• Close collaboration with a local practice so that referral level dental work can happen in our own clinic

👩‍⚕️ Experienced, Dedicated Team

Our clinical team includes an Advanced Practitioner who holds a Certificate in Equine Internal Medicine with 16 years of experience, supported by three amazing and dedicated equine vets who thrive on complex and challenging cases. We are such a friendly team and support each other with cases and pooled knowledge.

We are backed by an equine veterinary nurse with over 25 years of experience and a talented assistant nurse. Our reception team is second to none- you will always find a knowledgeable friendly voice on the end of the phone.

Emergency duties are shared equally among our passionate veterinary surgeons, ensuring reliable and consistent care whenever you need us. We are literally open 24/7

💙 A Holistic, Compassionate Approach

At Linkswood, kindness, ethics, and client communication are at the heart of what we do. We work holistically alongside trusted physiotherapists and farriers to provide complete, coordinated care tailored to each horse.

We encourage a personal tie to a nominated vet so that follow ups are consistent and a trusted bond is formed between horse- vet and owner.

If you’re looking for an independent equine practice with modern facilities, advanced expertise, and a genuinely compassionate approach, we would be honoured to support you and your horse.

Strangles Booster Reminder!

If your horse was vaccinated against Strangles back in April on our vaccination amnesty, it’s almost time for their 6-month booster!

Horses that travel regularly or live on busy yards with lots of movement are at higher risk — we recommend 6-monthly boosters to keep them protected.
If your horse leads a quieter life at home, an annual booster is usually enough.

If you are not sure what’s best for your horse, give us a call — we're happy to advise!

Hailey, Emma and Carolyn are in Birmingham for 48 hours attending BEVA Congress, a national equine vet conference where specialists present up to date therapies, evidence and thoughts on current topics. We have spread ourselves accross multiple lectures today, which we have thoroughly enjoyed. Between cutting edge technology, the severe threat of antimicrobial resistance and social licence debates, these conferences allow us to learn, think, network and improve our commitment to evidence based medicine. Every day is a school day and we are committed to always improving ourselves as vets and nurses so we can help improve our care to your horses.

⭕Signs of laminitis are:
*An inability or reluctance to walk.
* An increased digital pulse in the foot
*Reluctance to get up after lying down.
*A hoof that is hot to the touch
*Visible lameness on a hard surface or when turning a circle.
*Leaning back onto the hind feet

🐴 Exciting Day at the Clinic! 🐴
Last week, we had the pleasure of welcoming Victoria South, an internal medicine specialist, to our clinic to perform Percutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (PENS) Therapy on one of our patients.
PENS therapy involves inserting a tiny probe just beneath the skin, next to the trigeminal nerve and gently stimulating the nerve for several minutes per treatment. Horses typically undergo a course of three treatments, spaced out over several days to assess any improvement.
This cutting-edge treatment is most commonly used for horses suffering from trigeminal-mediated headshaking — a frustrating and often distressing condition.
🧠 So what does headshaking look like? Common signs include:
Vertical (up and down), horizontal (side to side), or rotational (round and round) flicking of the head
Nostril twitching or facial grimacing
Nose twitching and lip smacking
Scrubbing the nose on the ground, legs, rider’s boots, or stable walls
Exaggerated snorting
We’re proud to be offering advanced diagnostic and therapeutic options like PENS therapy to help improve the comfort and quality of life for horses struggling with this condition.
If you think your horse might be showing signs of headshaking, don’t hesitate to get in touch 🐎💙

Check out the before and after images of Emma's beautiful stitch up job. The last image is the wound after the first bandage change. We will keep you all posted on his progress, so keep an eye out 👀

Check out this cool case for you to have a look at!👀👀👀

A 7-year-old warmblood gelding has the lovely habit of cribbing. On this occasion, he decided to have a nibble of his stable and got a piece of said stable lodged between his teeth, in his panic, he jolted backwards and displaced two of his incisors down!

Ben took some X-rays and found that the alveolar bone had broken but not the tooth or the mandible. With the help of Ben Portus from Paton and Lee, the Ben’s wired the horses teeth back into place. 6 weeks later the wires came out, the teeth stayed in place and the horse is happily munching away! (until he did the same thing 4 months later and the procedure was done again!)🤦‍♀️🙈.
