Fees

Fees are based on when I last saw the owner, not the horse. I appreciate that people with multiple horses may not afford to have regular treatments for every horse.

New owner onboarding fee (this will also be applicable if I have not seen you for over 12 months).

Review of the horse’s history, orthopaedic examination (trot up, lunge and, where feasible, ridden) of the horse, followed by treatment with chiropractic, acupuncture, laser therapy, myofascial release and/or kinesio tape depending on the case, rehabilitation including showing you how to perform exercises - £200 (including VAT).

Reassessment of any of the owner's horses: (including new horses)

In hand assessment, treatment and basic rehabilitation: £100 (including VAT).

Ridden assessment, treatment and basic rehabilitation: £120 (including VAT).

Extensive rehabilitation plan: £60 (including VAT).

Foal - £42 (including VAT).

Unbacked, well handled young horse - £80 (including VAT).

Discounts

5 or more horses at the same yard - £10 per horse
Referral discount for the client who referred me - £10 per referral
Regular monthly maintenance assessments - please discuss this directly with me at our next appointment

Travel fee

I will no longer be charging a visit fee within the outlined area below.

If the visit is further afield, please contact Edward at office.ebequine@gmail.com with the post code for a quote. This will be dependent on distance and number of horses being treated.

Insurance paperwork

£15 (+ VAT) to print, fill in, scan and send on insurance forms. There is no charge if the paperwork is printed out and presented to me at the yard.

Podiatry services

The fee also includes consultation with your farrier and/ or a radiograph report.

At the time of the assessment (or within 2 months)

4 foot balance radiographs - £132 (including VAT).

8 foot balance radiographs - £216 (including VAT).

If I have assessed the horse, but not within the last 2 months

4 foot balance radiographs - £156 (including VAT).

8 foot balance radiographs - £240 (including VAT).

Farrier wait time - £60 (including VAT).

A visit fee will also be applied if I am not also treating the horse, or another horse on the yard, on the same day.

I will not take radiographs of horses which I have not assessed unless I receive a direct referral from your farrier.

A visit fee will also be applied.

Pricing for additional screening radiographs can be discussed during the consultation.

Sedation fee may also apply if the horse will not stand for radiographs.

Please note that radiographs are for preventative, screening and maintenance measures. If your horse is lame, I will recommend veterinary diagnostics through your regular vet. As this is a preventative measure, the radiographs and radiographic findings cannot be used to start an insurance claim.

Pre-Purchase Exams

Fees (in addition to a visit fee based on distance from TN22):

2 stage vetting - £275, including VAT

A stage 2 vetting involves a detailed assessment of the horse while standing still, including checks of the eyes, heart, lungs, conformation, teeth, and skin. The horse is then observed walking and trotting in hand on a firm, straight surface, followed by flexion tests on all four limbs, backing up, and turning in a small circle. In some cases, the examination may also include lunging on a hard surface in a circle.

5 stage vetting - £400, including VAT

A 5 Stage vetting continues by assessing the horse during exercise. Ideally, the horse should be lunged and ridden at a level equal to, or exceeding, the work expected after purchase, although this may vary between veterinary surgeons. This stage enables assessment of the horse’s respiratory function and heart rate during exercise, while also allowing observation of the walk, trot, canter, and gallop under saddle, together with recovery rates following exertion. It also provides an opportunity to identify potential back problems, subtle lameness, tack-related issues, signs of gastric ulceration, and any concerns relating to the teeth or acceptance of the bit. Following exercise, the horse is rested in the stable before undergoing a final trot-up, which may reveal lameness that only becomes apparent after work.

Blood sampling and storage for 3 months - £45, including VAT.

Radiographs:

Front feet and hocks - £300, including VAT.
Front feet, FL fetlocks, hocks, and stifles - £480, including VAT.
Front feet, FL fetlocks, hocks, stifles, back and neck - £600, including VAT.

Other combinations available - please request separate pricing.

Radiographs can be sent to a specialist radiologist at an additional fee.
