FACILITIES
Anchorage Barn Equine Clinic is a purpose built practice which offers a wide range of facilities which include:
LARGE HEATED EXAMINATION AREA
Our examination area is complete with stocks and heating and is fully enclosed, allowing a safe, comfortable and private experience.
FULLY PADDED KNOCK-DOWN BOX
This area is used to safely anaesthetise and treat patients requiring procedures which cannot be performed under standing sedation.
ISOLATION BOX
Our isolation box is located away from the main stabling facility and is used under strict protocols if a patient is, or is suspected to be, infectious.
AMERICAN BARN STABLING
The barn contains a mare and foal box as well as three other internal stables, all of which have a large opening window to allow generous air flow and mental stimulation.
TROT UP AND SCHOOLING SURFACE
Lameness investigations are regularly carried out at the clinic with the benefit of our trotting up and lunge area on a hard surface, our indoor examination area and grass manège. To accompany this, we have our own Ultrasound and Digital X-ray facilities, as well as the ability to refer for MRI or bone scan if required.
LOADING RAMP
Within our carpark we have a loading ramp to assist with loading young, tricky or injured horses.
PORTABLE EQUINE WEIGH SCALES
Our portable scales are used regularly, both at the clinic and on visits, not only for routine weight checks but for patients on weight loss programmes and for accurate medication dosing, such as for worming.
AUTOMATIC HORSE WALKER
The automatic horse walker is located conveniently by the American barn and is very useful for controlled exercise for inpatients.
INDIVIDUAL GRASS TURNOUT PADDOCKS
The turnout paddocks are safely fenced with Fieldguard Fence Tape with individual access points. Our paddocks are poo picked at least once daily and are part of a field maintenance regime whereby they are sprayed, topped and harrowed to keep the grazing in good order.
INTENSIVE CARE BOX WITH WEBCAM
Our intensive care box has fluid therapy facilities, as well as a heat lamp and soft flooring. The webcam allows us to monitor the patient 24/7 from any location.
