Worcestershire is well known for its busy equestrian community, with a significant equine population and a number of equestrian events including the Hanbury Countryside Show in Hanbury and the Royal Three Counties Show in Malvern. If you are looking for an independent equine-only practice to care for your horse, contact us or register your horse online.
We operate as an ambulatory practice to bring high quality care to equines within our coverage area, which includes parts of Worcestershire. Our investment in mobile equipment provides us with everything that we need to perform a range of procedures where your horse is kept. For artificial insemination (AI) and standing procedures that require the use of stocks, we have a partner facility at Lynwood Stud in Warwickshire.
Clients that choose Avonvale Equine Practice to care for their horse/s can also benefit from our in-house laboratory, which is located at our office in Upton, Banbury. Our laboratory allows us to complete a number of different diagnostic tests quickly without having to use a third-party laboratory. This provides fast turnaround times and continuity of care for routine and emergency cases.
Worcestershire clients who are located within our coverage area can receive routine veterinary care for their horse/s from our experienced and qualified equine vets and vet nurses on our Tuesday zone visit day. If you horse requires routine care, you can pre-book a visit with no call out fee on the zone visit day. Routine veterinary services that are performed on a zone visit day include examinations for non-emergency conditions, vaccinations, microchips, prescription rechecks, dentistry, ACTH blood samples and passport applications. We advise our clients to book zone visit appointments as early as possible, as they can often become booked up weeks in advance.
In order to ensure that our zone visits run smoothly and efficiently, they are subject to specific terms and conditions. Please check our zone visits page to review our full requirements.
In the event that a zone visit day is unavailable or not suitable, we also provide chargeable non-emergency callouts within normal working hours. Please call the practice on 01295 670 501 to book an appointment.

Purchasing a horse can be a stressful time, with so much to consider, not least its health and suitability for you as its owners. Whether you are looking to buy a horse for competition, breeding or leisure use, our equine vets can help you assess it and provide you with an objective view before you commit to purchase it. During our vetting’s, we look to identity pre-existing problems that may affect your horse’s future performance. Prospective horse owners that require a comprehensive examination, often choose our five stage vetting, while those who require a more basic examination, opt for our two stage vetting. For further information on our vettings services, please see our Pre Purchase Examinations page.
As well as our core vetting offerings, we can also undertake further diagnostic tests on a horse including x-rays, ultrasound and endoscopy. Our equine vet can also take a blood sample for further tests on request. Booking a five stage or two stage vetting with Avonvale is easy, please use our online pre-purchase examination form or get in touch with us.
Equine dentistry can help to prevent weight and performance issues related to discomfort. Our equine vets provide a range of equine dental services related to the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of oral disease. We recommend routine annual dental checkups for horses to help look after their teeth and identify potential dental issues at an early stage. While most horses and donkeys should have an annual checkup, if they are under 5 years old or over 15 years old, checkups at 6-month intervals are advised. Routine dental care and checkups can help your horse stay healthy.
We perform most dental procedures at your horse’s stable as part of our ambulatory equine veterinary services. Our equine dental vets use the latest equipment and draw on experience gained from specialist training to deliver high quality equine dentistry services. If you are looking for a practice that can provide advanced equine dentistry, routine equine dentistry, investigative or diagnostic services, contact us. Our equine vets can help restore and maintain your horse’s dental health.
