Veterinary assistance when out hacking, competing and having fun in the spring sunshine
Sunny bank holiday weekends provide the perfect opportunity to enjoy competing, showing or hacking out in the spring countryside. And if you need to call us with an emergency, or even just a concern about your horse or pony, remember to use What3Words to give us your exact location.
Remember to always take your mobile ‘phone, and consider taking an equine first-aid kit with you in the 4×4, lorry or trailer – you never know when you’ll need it. Ballinger Equine’s vets are always available to talk you through administering first-aid to your horse or pony before they get to you, or to help you to get your horse home in safety and comfort.
Always remember – it is important not to delay seeking advice and/or treatment should your horse or pony require it, and if you are in any doubt at all or are worried about the health of your horse over the holiday period, call 01462 414008 at any time and consult one of our vets who will be happy to help.
