Ballinger Equine will continue uninterrupted round-the-clock, out-of-hours and emergency veterinary care for all our clients throughout the August Bank Holiday weekend. Whilst the practice office will be closed to visitors over the weekend and bank holiday, our veterinary surgeons remain on duty.
Clinical excellence and outstanding client service
Ballinger Equine is the region’s foremost independent first-opinion equine practice. Progressive and well-equipped, we use the latest advanced diagnostic imaging for accurate on-yard diagnosis, sparing you the costly inconvenience and disruption of a visit to a hospital, and ensuring targeted treatment commences without delay.
Ballinger Equine operates its own in-house out-of-hours and emergency cover
It is increasingly unusual for a practice to operate its own out-of-hours clinical team. Ballinger Equine’s in-house team is led by Clinical Director Dr Susanna Ballinger MRCVS, and works round-the-clock providing emergency and out-of-hours service, ensuring seamless continuity of care. An independent practice managed by its owners, Ballinger Equine never outsources emergency care.
Competing or showing your horse or pony this bank-holiday?
Many people will be traveling with their horses or ponies to shows, events and competitions this August bank-holiday. Please be sure to check out the ground conditions at the venue before you travel and see our advice for traveling your horse. Also, review the important tips for keeping your horse or pony cool in the current hot weather and ensure you take proper precautions for effective bio-security.
