Specialist horse vet clinic
Our clinic, previously part of Priory Veterinary Surgeons, carries a rich legacy of over 90 years in equine care. In 2023, after a decade of exemplary service in Surrey and Sussex, Dr. Corrado Montoneri privately acquired the equine branch, establishing Surrey Hills Equine and continuing a proud tradition of independence.
Our extensive services include pre-purchase examinations, regular health check-ups, lameness and performance evaluations, advanced mobile diagnostic imaging, endoscopy, gastroscopy, and riding establishment inspections.
We emphasise the critical importance of regular, specialist dental care as a cornerstone of routine equine healthcare.

Bolney equine dental services
At Surrey Hills Equine, we offer regular, specialist horse dentistry as part of routine equine healthcare. A horse's mouth is vital for communication and comfort, yet dental problems often go undetected without apparent signs.
Modern equine dentistry focuses on prevention. We recommend regular checkups every six to12 months. This allows early detection of minor issues, preventing them from becoming serious problems.
We continually invest in specialist equipment to uphold our commitment to clinical excellence. This ensures we can quickly diagnose and address issues, developing optimal treatment plans tailored to each horse's unique needs.

One recent client said:
Highly recommend the team at Surrey Hills Equine Vets. Can't speak highly enough of Corrado. He was great and extremely informative with regard to the horse vetting and X-rays when we spoke over the phone. He was extremely professional and gave a lot of clarity on the day to the unfortunate findings. Would definitely use again.

Other Equine Services in Surrey
Our horse vets can provide a complete range of services, including:
Lameness and poor performance
Lameness issues can inflict pain on your horse and cause concern and disruption for you as an owner. Our goal is to identify the cause of the problem and recommend suitable treatment to get your horse back to normal as quickly as possible.
The lameness investigation may involve various procedures, including the examination of your horse's conformation, movement, stride, and limb placement, flexion tests, palpation of the limbs and muscles, examination at walk and trot in hand and on the lunge, ridden examination, nerve or joint blocks, and X-ray or ultrasound.
Gastroscopy
Equine gastric ulcer syndrome (EGUS) is increasingly acknowledged as a common culprit behind various clinical signs, including poor performance, behavioural changes, reduced appetite, lacklustre coat condition, and discomfort during girthing.
All horses face the risk of developing ulcers, with contributing factors such as a high-carbohydrate diet, intense training or competition schedules, and stressors like illness or changes in routine, such as box rest.
Using a gastroscope, we can visually inspect the horse's esophagus, stomach and proximal duodenum to confirm the presence of ulcers. Since ulcer treatment can be costly, a thorough stomach examination through gastroscopy is recommended before initiating any treatment.
Mobile diagnostic imaging
Surrey Hills Equine employs cutting-edge portable wireless diagnostic imaging tools, including Digital X-ray systems, Ultrasound Scanners, and Video Endoscopy, delivered directly to clients' premises. This innovative approach allows us to provide the convenience of on-site examinations, eliminating the need to transport horses.
Our horse vets may recommend additional diagnostic imaging, whether it is for lameness investigations, pre-purchase examinations (vetting), dental or head-related concerns, or assessments of upper airways for respiratory conditions or Strangles cases.
Endoscopy
Endoscopy is a valuable tool for assessing the respiratory tract, especially in horses facing respiratory issues or exhibiting poor performance.
The procedure involves passing a flexible camera, known as an endoscope, through your horse's nostril, pharynx, larynx, and down the trachea, with the option to examine the guttural pouches.
