Veterinary consultations for all your veterinary needs.
The foot more than any other part of the horse is susceptible to injury, disease or “wear and tear”. Proper, timely hoof care can often make the difference between a sound performance horse and one with chronic lameness that takes time and money to remedy.
Prices are competitive and you have the real advantage of having Veterinary Podiatry behind the shoeing allowing each horse to be shod according to their hoof formation. This gives for a more sound horse and better long term performance.
"As veterinarians we often fail to see the changes to a horses hoof as it responds to particular shoes. Without those observations seen as a professional farrier I wouldn't have the understanding I do have about fitting devices to horses feet."
It’s been said no foot no horse and as horse owners you would have seen the truth in this. Humans have removed the horse from his wild environment, where his hooves basically took care of themselves. Now we as owners must make sure our equine friends get regular hoof care to keep them comfortable and sound. That’s where VSL & Farrier’s come in to help you the owners. Between us we can work as a team to ensure your horse remains sound.
With their own experience in farrier science and the changes in hoof conformation over time, VSL & Farriers is able to work with your existing farrier on those more complicated cases thus encouraging a more open and productive treatment plan, giving you the owner or trainer more choices.
VSL & Farriers is mainly a mobile service. We therefore have much lower overheads than some of the larger practices in the area. This allows for us to bring you the client a much more cost effective service. Call us for a free complimentary stable visit to discuss your requirements and how we at VSL & farriers can help you achieve your goals.
