Choose your type of client evening
2024-06-13 19:00 - 21:30
We appreciate it has been a while and not all people want the same thing from client evening ( apart from free food… which there will be! )
Therefore we are putting on several things so you have a choice:
Listen to a client talk. Covering several topics, including a new lameness treatment without the laminitis risk!
Take part in a live dissection. Time to get a little dirty, legs, heads…. we will show you the anatomy and why things aren’t always quite straight forward as they first sometimes appear.
Meet the new team. We have several new team members, so come and meet them. Ask questions and see why they have become a part of the F&P team. We also have Emily returning, so come and say hi!
Get up close and personal with the equipment – in some instances have a play and ask as many questions as you want! yes, that’s right…. have you ever wanted to use an endoscope or even a laser? This might be your chance!!!

Snot, sneezes & infectious diseases
2017-07-20 19:30 - 21:30 | The Greyhound Inn, Stocks Road, Aldbury, Hertfordshire, HP23 5RT, United Kingdom
Snot, sneezes & infectious diseases – current and emerging disease threats to your horse and how you can safeguard against them.
Unless you live in Iceland (we will explain why lol), or your horse has no contact with another horse which has travelled any further than the end of your yard for years – this is the talk for you!
What contagious diseases do you need to know about? What do they look like? Are they dangerous? and more importantly what to do about it.
Don’t wait until your yard is struck down with a disease – come and find out how to prepare yourself!

It could only happen to my horse!
2016-01-27 19:30 - 21:30 | The Greyhound Inn, Stocks Road, Aldbury, Hertfordshire, HP23 5RT, United Kingdom
Horse injuries, lumps, bumps and the down right weird!
We have all been there …. “why my horse!?”, “this never happens to anyone else!”, ” why is my horse so accident prone?”
As vets we see a plethora of injuries in addition to the weird and wonderful. We often take lots of images throughout many of these cases and have put some together to show you that your not alone!
This will be a light hearted evening of pictures and videos of lumps, bumps, wounds and even conditions that have not been seen for literally years. If you have strong stomach and enjoy seeing what we come across during our rounds come along – its free… which after the Christmas period will be a welcomed relief!
