Routine Work
Routine equine work at Gil Riley
Our experienced vets are able to come to your yard to do all manner of routine work, such as vaccinations, dentistry, examinations, certification and sarcoid treatment.
We also appreciate not everyone has the transport to travel to our clinic for some of the more involved work such imaging, lameness assessments and minor surgical procedures.
​
Our support extends to emergency situations, and we offer emergency care 24/7 365 a year for all clients within our 15-mile radius visit area. Please call the usual office number for all queries, and a friendly member of our team will be able to help.
We’re supported by our technician’s van which carries all the required equipment.
​
We recommend using the BHA's vaccination calendar to check on the current status of your horse and their future requirements.
Please contact the office to find out if we can carry out the work you require doing in the comfort of your own yard.

Worm control for your horses
Parasitic worm burdens can lead to digestive upsets including colic, and a failure to thrive.
Effective worm control is therefore vital for the well-being of our horses.
Worm control doesn’t just mean worming your horse, although correct use of wormers is an important part of it.
More particularly, it is about testing the horse at specific times of the year, the results then telling us whether the horse needs worming or whether it is safe to go without.
The use of testing therefore means wormers are only given to those horses that need one, and when they are, the correct product is chosen.
With judicious use of wormers, we help minimise the build-up of resistance to wormers amongst the horse population, keeping our current batch of wormers viable for the future.
