This is something I’ve felt strongly about for a very long time and delighted to see this law being passed. Well done to World Horse Welfare for their tireless work.

The Bill to ban live exports to slaughter from Great Britain has now received Royal Assent and passed into law! 🙌🎉

We can't begin to thank you enough for your support along this journey. Whether you made a vital donation for us to continue our campaigning, or took action to highlight to MPs and the Prime Minister the need for this ban to ensure our horses, ponies and donkeys are protected. Without your support we would not be celebrating this milestone!

This is the first step towards our goal to , now we need to make sure this ban is enforced and that all horses are traceable 👉 https://bit.ly/44SzCyi

Keep an eye out on our future updates around horse smuggling!

Last week some of our clients were competing at Royal Windsor. We throughly enjoy hearing and seeing how everyone got on.
Sophie Turner rode her veteran pony Westway Twilight Rose to take 5th in the senior showing under 153cm class.
Sophie also then rode her 11yr old show pony Cosford Vanguard to take 3rd in the BSPS Child’s first ridden pony class.
Jevon Gillham rode Yolanda Olson’s Piropo Paagan to take 2nd in the English Ridden PRE Class and also taking best PRE Gelding.
Hannah Alford showed her mare Worsenden Vivian in hand to take 6th in the non native young stock class.
Suzanne Ashwell rode her horse Rhomantic in the working show horse.
What a great week for all involved with these amazing horses and ponies!

Whilst out on a visit yesterday, we made friends with another variety of animal! These 3 little goats were definitely not afraid of the vet!

A nice case showing some excellent farriery, the value of foot balance radiographs and the importance of vets and farriers working together effectively.

This week Liz is in Porto for the Congress of the European College of Veterinary Surgeons. She was honoured to have been asked to participate as a speaker in the pre-Congress lab on upper hind limb lameness and now has 3 days of lecture attendance to look forward to. This international conference is invaluable in keeping up to date with the latest developments in equine veterinary surgery, catching up with colleagues from across Europe (and beyond) and of course managing to squeeze in some sight seeing in a truly beautiful city.

We hope everyone has a lovely long Jubilee weekend, let’s hope the sun stays shining for us all.

Happy Easter to everyone. We hope you are all enjoying this wonderful weather over the bank holiday 🌞

So today Liz spent her Saturday competing her own horse Diego. The realities of being a horse owner, is that it doesn’t always go smoothly.
After 18 months of lockdown, laparoscopic surgery and rehab for a ligament injury, then a disastrous first outing back last weekend, it was fabulous to see these two out in the sunshine.
Sometimes the horse is worth the drama…

01/03/2022

We would like to wish Rhoden Rehabilitation a very Happy 2nd Birthday. We have had the pleasure of working with this great team and are looking forward to working with you for many more years to come.

23/02/2022

Tonight, Liz is supporting one of our local academies Team Lamy Wright by giving an informative talk to their members. At Barr Equine we love to support our local riders, trainers, and academies as much as we can. By doing this we hope to give back to such a great equestrian community.

Thought it was about time we trained someone else up to do Sarah’s job as she’s out with Liz a bit more these days. 😂

13/10/2021

Not horse related but Sarah made the most of the beautiful weather today and took a walk across the Kent countryside to meet Liz at an appointment. Who would have thought it was October! 🌞🌞

31/08/2021

So, this week Liz is off on holiday! Let's hope the thunderstorms don't continue where she is. Sarah is still available to answer your phone calls and emails. So don't worry if you need to book appointments. Hope everyone enjoyed their bank holiday weekend.

So a year on we thought it was about time, we put a face to the voice and our clients knew a bit more about Sarah

Sarah caught the horse bug early and having been involved with horses since the age of 5, a future career involving horses became inevitable. After working at several large yards, she worked in an equine veterinary hospital, originally managing the stables and then moving on to managing the reception team.

With this experience behind her, Sarah joined Barr Equine Vet Ltd in the summer of 2020 to help with the day to day running of the business and with the unenviable task of organising Liz’s diary.



Sarah will also be found out and about with Liz helping with appointments when required. As a horse owner herself, she understands that when your horse needs veterinary attention that this can be stressful and she is always there to help no matter what the problem is.
