Go straight to the Horse & Hound veterinary library

Horse & Hound veterinary experts report on the latest equine veterinary research and developments in the magazine’s Vet Clinic feature every week. These features can be read online as part of our H&H Plus service.

We also have a new online library of up-to-the-minute vet advice covering an wide range of conditions. These range from common problems such as mud fever, colic and laminitis to less frequent conditions like grass sickness and uveitis.

We know that any time your horse is unwell is extremely stressful, so our vet advice is designed to give you the information you need to help you make an informed decision about the next step in your horse’s care. However, we would always recommend you speak to your own vet in order to get their expert opinion on any veterinary issues about your horse.
