Do you know what’s in your water?
Whether it’s for your home, your horses or your yard, water quality matters.
The Irish Equine Centre provides water testing services for a range of water sources, including:
💧 Private wells
🚰 Mains water
🌿 Streams and natural water sources
Water can look, smell and taste perfectly normal while still containing microorganisms or other contaminants that may affect its suitability for use.
Testing can help assess water intended for domestic use and equine consumption, giving owners, yards, studs and farms greater confidence in the quality of their water supply.
Regular testing can be particularly valuable for private wells and natural water sources, and following events that may affect water quality, such as heavy rainfall, flooding or changes in the appearance, taste or smell of the water.
🔬 Water testing is available through the Irish Equine Centre’s Environment & Nutrition Laboratory.

Good water quality matters — for people and for horses.
