🟢 Zone 1 – West | MONDAY
Eg. Greenbank, New Beith, North Maclean, Springfield & Bundamba
Standard $177 → Zone Day Travel $88.50

🟠 Zone 2 – South | TUESDAY
Eg. Logan Village, Jimboomba, Mundoolun, Tamborine, Flagstone, South Maclean, Park Ridge, Buccan, Eagleby & Beenleigh

💙 Save even more by getting a group together!
Chat with your neighbours, friends or fellow agistees and coordinate appointments at the same property or nearby. Sharing a visit helps us make our travel more efficient and can further reduce the travel cost per horse.

Our aim is simple: less time on the road, more time treating horses, and better value for our clients.

The new travel zones take effect 1 October 2026. Zone-day appointments will be limited, so we recommend booking ahead for routine visits, dentals, vaccinations and other planned appointments. If you are outside these areas please get in touch for availability and travel costs.

Thank you for continuing to support Elite Equine as we grow! 🐴🤍

🐴 Elite Equine’s First Gastroscope Day! 🩺 🎉

This week patients underwent gastroscopy, allowing us to examine the stomach directly and identify gastric ulceration. Those affected have now started treatment and management plans to help their stomachs heal and get them feeling their best again.

Gastric ulcers are very common in horses and the signs can sometimes be subtle. Things owners may notice include:
• Poor appetite or being slow to eat
• Weight loss or difficulty maintaining condition
• Changes in behaviour or attitude
• Girthiness or sensitivity around the abdomen
• Reduced performance or reluctance to work
• Recurrent mild colic
• Poor coat condition
• Teeth grinding or increased salivation

Gastroscopy remains the best way to definitively diagnose gastric ulcers and assess their location and severity, allowing treatment to be tailored to the individual horse.

A very special thank you to Andrew from Randlab for his support and assistance in making our first gastroscope day run so smoothly — it was greatly appreciated! 💙

A fantastic day and another diagnostic service we’re excited to offer our patients. 🐴🩺

👁️ Subpalpebral Lavage Systems – Making Eye Treatment Easier

Serious equine eye conditions can require medication as frequently as every 1–2 hours, which can be challenging when the eye is painful.

A subpalpebral lavage (SPL) system is a small tube placed through the eyelid that allows medication to be delivered directly onto the eye without repeatedly handling or opening it.

SPL systems are particularly useful for conditions such as corneal ulcers, fungal keratitis, stromal abscesses and severe uveitis.

They allow:
💧 Frequent, reliable medication
🐴 Less discomfort and handling
🩺 Easier treatment for owners and vets
👁️ Intensive therapy when sight may be at risk

With serious equine eye disease, early diagnosis and consistent treatment are critical — and an SPL can make intensive treatment much easier for both horse and handler.

🦷 Why some dental corrections need to be staged

This horse presented with significant hooks affecting the 06s (first cheek teeth). While it can be tempting to remove the entire hook in one dental, large overgrowths are best corrected gradually over multiple visits.

Aggressive reduction in a single session risks excessive heat generation and getting too close to the sensitive pulp horns within the tooth. Instead, we reduce the overgrowth to a safe level, allow time for the tooth to adapt and continue erupting, then reassess and reduce further at the next dental.

These photos show the before and after from the first stage of reduction — a substantial improvement, while deliberately leaving some crown height for safe correction at a future visit.

Staged dentistry is a great example of why equine dental care isn’t simply about making the teeth look perfectly level in one visit. The aim is to restore comfortable, functional movement of the jaw while preserving healthy teeth.

🐴🦷 Slow, considered correction is the safest correction.

🎉 Happy Horse Birthday! 🐴🎂

Today we celebrate the official birthday of every horse in the Southern Hemisphere.

To the horses that carry us, challenge us, teach us patience, build our confidence, and remind us that the best things in life are earned, not given.

Whether they’re elite athletes, trusted teammates, cherished companions, or wise old retirees, every horse leaves a lasting hoofprint on the lives of the people who love them.

As veterinarians, it is a privilege to care for these incredible animals through every stage of life—from their very first days to their well-earned retirement years. They give us so much, and they deserve the very best care in return.

Happy Birthday to all the wonderful horses who make our days brighter and our lives richer. Here’s to another year of health, happiness, and plenty of carrots. 🥰🐴

🐴 Is your Mare (or Jenny) expecting?

A newborn foal and mare check is one of the most important early investments you can make.

The first 24 hours of a foal’s life are critical. Even foals that appear bright, nursing and well can have early issues that are difficult to spot without a veterinary examination.

A newborn check allows us to assess both mare and foal, including:

• Foal’s general health, hydration, temperature, heart and respiratory rate
• Ability to stand, suckle and pass urine and meconium
• Umbilicus, joints, eyes, mouth/palate and limb conformation
• Signs of infection, prematurity, neonatal maladjustment or other concerns
• Mare’s udder, milk supply, placenta, reproductive tract and post-foaling recovery

A key part of the visit is an IgG blood test, ideally performed at around 12–18 hours of age.

IgG is an antibody the foal receives from the mare’s colostrum (first milk). These antibodies provide vital protection against infection while the foal’s own immune system develops. If a foal has not absorbed enough colostrum, they are at much greater risk of serious infections such as septicaemia, joint ill and pneumonia.

Early testing means that if passive transfer is inadequate, treatment such as plasma can be provided promptly—before the foal becomes unwell.

Early assessment can make a big difference to a healthy start. This gorgeous pair were given the all clear today 🩷

👁️ Did you know we can use your horse’s own plasma to help treat certain eye conditions?

Plasma therapy is a valuable treatment for corneal ulcers and other eye diseases where the cornea is at risk of melting or delayed healing.

A small blood sample is collected from your horse and processed in a centrifuge to separate the plasma. This plasma contains natural proteins, growth factors and anti-protease substances that can help protect the cornea, reduce tissue breakdown and support healing.

Because the plasma comes from your horse, it is a safe treatment option with minimal risk of adverse reactions.

Early diagnosis and treatment of eye conditions can make a huge difference to outcomes, so if your horse develops a sore, weepy or squinting eye, contact your veterinarian promptly.

👁️ Continuing Education in Equine Ophthalmology 🐴

Dr Kassy had the privilege of attending an intensive Equine Ophthalmology Workshop hosted by The Equine Practice Company.

The workshop was led by internationally renowned equine ophthalmologist Professor Dennis Brooks (USA), alongside an outstanding team of tutors, providing a fantastic opportunity to further develop knowledge and practical skills in the diagnosis, treatment and management of equine eye diseases.

The program covered a wide range of ocular conditions and advanced ophthalmic procedures, with a strong focus on practical, hands-on learning. Keeping up to date with the latest developments in equine medicine allows us to continue providing the highest standard of care for our patients.

A sincere thank you to The Equine Practice Company, Professor Dennis Brooks, the tutors, sponsors, organisers and fellow delegates who made the workshop such a valuable and enjoyable experience. The willingness to share knowledge, experience and clinical insights was greatly appreciated.

We’re excited to bring this new knowledge and enhanced skills back to our patients and clients across South East Queensland.
