Agnew Equine Ltd Independent, family-owned team of 6 equine vets bringing expert mobile care straight to your stables.

Proudly serving Staffordshire, Cheshire and Derbyshire since 2001. We understand that choosing the right vet for you and your horse is important. This is why we think you should choose Agnew Equine.

• Experience: All Agnew Equine vets are experienced and have dedicated and developed their careers to looking solely after horses and ponies. As a client of Agnew Equine you will receive a service and advice you can trust. This also means that for emergencies out-of-office-hours you will you will always see a vet whose is specialist in horses and not in small animals or farm work.

• Convenience: Does it surprise you that at Agnew Equine we consider it an advantage for our clients not having a clinic of our own? That is because if your horse is unwell or has an issue that needs investigating, we always come to you! We have state-of-the-art veterinary and diagnostic tools which are entirely mobile, which means under times of stress you're able to keep your horse or pony at home with little disruption to their routine, and more convenience for you as the owner not having to think about transport or blocking out significant portions of your day.

• Equipped: The cornerstone of effective treatment is a prompt and accurate diagnosis. We are fully equipped with the latest diagnostic equipment including x-ray, endoscopes and ultrasound scanners all of which are mobile. Our vet's training and experience - combined with using the latest diagnostic technology - allows us to perform even in-depth investigations including lameness work-ups at your own premises.

• Continuity of Care: We know that case continuity is very important to you. We try our best to ensure the same vet sees your case through from start to finish. This approach is crucial to the clinical management of cases but also allows our vets to develop excellent relationships with our clients.

• Honest: In certain circumstances your horse may require treatment from a specialist. Specialist referral happens quickly to optimise the treatment of your horse and spending your money wisely. As an ambulatory practice Agnew Equine are in the fortunate position of not being tied to an ‘in-house surgeon’. Equine surgeons, just like human surgeons, have their own specialities. We are able to select the best surgeon specifically to suit the exact surgical requirements of your horse. We always do the best for you and your horse.

• Friendly and approachable: In a time where many vet practices are owned by corporates, we remain a local family-owned business. It is important to us that despite the success and growth of our practice we maintain the friendly feel we've always had - where we know our clients and their horses and they know us. With a team of six experienced vets, we are small enough to care about you and your horses but big enough to provide a high level of service and 24 hours emergency cover.

While we all enjoy an extra hour in bed, your horse will still be expecting breakfast at the usual time. Horses thrive on routine, and a sudden shift in feed times can upset their digestion.

A few tips to ease the change:

🕐 Move feed times in small steps over several days rather than all at once

🌾 Keep forage available as normal, so there are no long gaps without something to eat

🌙 Darker evenings are coming, so make sure you and your horse are both visible if you’re riding or leading out on the roads. Hi-vis is a must!

If you have any concerns about your horse’s routine, appetite or behaviour as the season changes, our team is always happy to help. Give us a call on 01782 510502.

Fireworks season is nearly here, and if your horse tends to get worked up, now is a good time to plan ahead.

ProSetol is a highly concentrated complementary feed that supports the wellbeing of nervous horses and their gut health. It contains L-tryptophan, which supports serotonin production, along with a balanced level of magnesium and calcium to support the nervous system. A live yeast probiotic helps the fibre-digesting bacteria in the gut, so it’s gut kind too.

It offers calming support for young, stressed or nervous horses, suits horses of all ages, and can also help horses on long-term box rest. It’s competition safe (UK), and there’s free shipping on our online shop.

A supplement to help is only one part of the plan. A steady routine and safe turnout or stabling all help, and if your horse really struggles with fireworks, give us a call and we’ll talk through the best approach for them.

Like it or not, 🎆 Fireworks season 🎆 is on its way, and for many horses it’s one of the most stressful times of the year. A little planning now can make a big difference.

Our top tips:

🎇 Find out what’s happening locally. Check for displays near your yard and ask neighbours to let you know if they’re planning one. Remember it isn’t just 5 November, as fireworks can go off for weeks either side.

🎇 Make your plan early. Decide whether your horse is better turned out or stabled on the night. Think about what suits your individual horse and your yard, and stick to their normal routine as far as you can.

🎇 Check your set up. Walk the fencing, gates and stable doors. A panicked horse can push through things that would normally hold.

🎇 Keep them busy and together. Plenty of forage helps keep minds occupied, and a familiar companion nearby is often reassuring. Radio or background noise can also help take the edge off bangs.

🎇 Stay calm and stay safe. If you’re there, keep your own energy relaxed and avoid putting yourself between a frightened horse and an exit. Don’t ride out around fireworks times.

🎇 Be prepared. Make sure headcollars are well fitted and that you have contact details to hand in case a horse does get loose.

🎇 Talk to your vet in good time. If your horse struggles every year, speak to us well before the big night about the options.

Our team is always happy to chat it through. Get in touch if you’d like to talk about your horse.

Guess who went and got 7th at HOYS?! 🤩

Huge congratulations to Aimee Rogers and her lovely Percy! ❤️

You might remember Percy from a previous post, after he underwent colic surgery last summer. Seeing him back out there and doing so well is just brilliant.

With the right care, time and support from our vets, we’re delighted to have played a part in helping Percy get back doing what he loves. What an achievement for them both! 🐴

Feedback Friday! Reviews like this one are why we love what we do. ♥

Thank you so much to one of our very first clients, Rebecca Slinn, who has been with us since day one.

How lucky are we to build relationships like this over 25 years? Being trusted with people's horses through the good times and the tough ones is a real privilege, and messages like this mean the world to our whole team.

Thank you for sticking with us, and for the kind anniversary wishes. Here's to many more years together. 🐴

Colic season is here 🍂

Autumn brings a change in routine for many horses, and with the recent weather and changes in grass growth, we're seeing more cases of colic.

Our REACT now to beat colic message is simple: reduce the risk, spot the early signs, feel prepared when making decisions, and react quickly to get your horse the care they need.

Spotting colic early and calling your vet quickly gives your horse the best chance of recovery or, in critical cases, helps prevent unnecessary suffering.

If you notice any signs of distress or a change in your horse's behaviour, think REACT and call your vet straight away for advice and support.

Know what's normal for your horse. That includes:
✔️ The consistency and number of droppings per day
✔️ Their usual behaviour
✔️ Their eating and drinking habits

The better you know your horse's normal, the quicker you'll spot a change.

Worried about your horse? Call us on 01782 510502 🐴
