- Vaccination
We provide and strongly recommend annual vaccination for your horse for tetanus and Influenza. Horses that compete in national competitions (FEP) will need a bi-annual vaccination to be able to compete.
6. Pre and Post Purchase Check-up:
We can help potential buyers to make a more informed decision regarding the purchase of a horse by providing them with:
- A complete and thorough medical exam with specific recommendations.
- An assessment to establish if the animal has any type of pathology that would impair his intended use or family integration.
- Advice and guidance on the correct care and management of the new animal from a medical, nutritional, and educational point of view.
