EQUINE MATTERS

Within the veterinary profession there are traditional privately

owned practices and others that are part of a larger corporate

group. XLEquine practices fall into the first category and as we

are owned and run by vets, any decisions that are made come

with a sound ethical and clinical backing from the vets on the

ground that are treating your horses.

XLEquine is the equine specialist division of

XLVets which, founded in 2005, is a unique staff who are there to give your equine

group of veterinary practices which span

the length and breadth of the country,

from Penzance to Orkney. Our member

practices range from large equine referral

hospitals to mixed veterinary practices

with an equine component, incorporating

over 100 equine vets. Our aim is to work

collaboratively and cooperatively to share

resources, learning and clinical skills to

deliver a high level of customer care and

equine welfare.

Whilst, like any business there is a need

to generate profit, the drive for this is to

reinvest in the facilities, equipment and

friends the very best. A quality veterinary

practice will always be progressive in

exploring new ways to deliver excellent

care to you as horse owners.

As a horse owner this gives reassurance

that if your horse, pony or donkey is

treated by a practice carrying the XLEquine

brand, you will have the personal approach

that you have come to expect from your

local independent veterinary practice, but

the backing of one of the most respected

groups of vets in the country - and the

only collaborative group of its kind.

XLEquine

practices work together to

share knowledge and skills, to ensure

together we are equipped to keep your

horses well and healthy. XLEquine vets

very much focus on helping you keep

your horses fit, not just treating them

when they are ill.

There are many ways you can get

involved with XLEquine including our

healthcare campaigns such as ‘Keep

one step ahead’ and our practical

vet-led EquineSkills training workshops

and hope that you will feel proud of

your practice too.

I am very grateful for

the collaborative yet skilled

approach you take, and the

sensitive way in which you

deal with the difficult

dilemmas we all face as

horse owners.
