No shortage of grass here! Pregnant mares enjoying the product of Daniel Russell’s pasture management. We are lucky to have Dan arrange all of the fert, spraying and re-grassing here as well as hay and baleage production, so we have quality feed all year round.

I’m a bit late to the party for vet nurse/tech appreciation week, but have made it just in time!

We love our two techs at EVRC, Donna Aldridge and Lilly Carpenter. They’ll probably both kill me for the photo, but it turns out it’s quite hard to get a photo of them both where one is not pulling a goofy face!

Lilly and Donna are integral to the day to day operations here, and are an important part of the team caring for your special mares and foals.

Pictured below together during today’s O**m Pick Up (OPU) procedure.

Here’s the happy ending to the story from the weekend where Lucy and Donna admitted a critical foal for treatment.

Mare and foal headed home today looking much happier. With a treatment plan in place and a revisit booked, the clients were very pleased to have the duo home.

Another tool in our box this season is our new digital x-Ray system from Radincon - Specialist Medical Imaging.

This allows us to round out the services we can offer on site and in an ambulatory capacity. From foals, to yearlings, to anything on farm with us needing x-rays this wilI assist with diagnosis and monitoring of cases.

We are committed to providing a gold standard service and this is just one addition we have made in the last 12 months to allow us to achieve this goal.

The work doesn’t stop here just because it’s the weekend! Donna and Lucy worked hard on this wee foal today, seen here placing a long stay IV catheter.

He was referred in to us weak, dehydrated and septic. Thanks to some quick treatment and diagnostics he is much brighter and hopefully heading in the right direction.
