About:
In September of 2004 Pool House Veterinary Group acquired the farm and the surrounding 12 acres of land. After receiving planning consent from Lichfield District Council work commenced in the October to create a modern clinic dedicated exclusively to the care of horses.
The clinic now has a staff of eleven full time equine veterinary surgeons – seven of whom have post graduate qualifications in equine related disciplines including one with a European Diploma in Equine surgery.
There is an operating theatre, large preparation area including CR & DR digital X ray processing, a measuring pad, two examination / radiography rooms and two sets of stocks. There is stabling for up to 15 horses.
Pool House is the largest equine practice in the midlands; approximately 10,500 visits are made every year. All classes of horse are cared for, including a number of local racehorse training yards.
Other equipment includes two mobile X – Ray machines, four 7.5 MHz linear scanners (including three ‘Titan’ units), laser surgery, cryosurgery unit, arthroscope, shock wave machine, 3m digital gastroscope, laparoscopy and two 1.4m fibreoptic endoscopes.
We have a small in house laboratory. The practice also provides Veterinary cover to Uttoxeter and Wolverhampton racecourses.
