Thoroughbreds

The Northeast Region is the centre of Victoria’s Thoroughbred breeding industry and is recognised as one of the three major Australian breeding centres.

Avenel Equine Hospital and our relationship with the Scone Equine Group have developed alongside the Thoroughbred industry, sharing research, training and people with equine practices around the world. This exchange of skills and experience combined with the knowledge and qualifications of our team allows us to understand the industry our clients are involved in.

We understand the “business” of Thoroughbreds but we also understand the dreams and passion that bring people to racing and breeding. We provide veterinary services specifically tailored to the Thoroughbred industry.

Pleasure and Performance Horses

Strathbogie Shire and the North East region are home to horses and horse people from every discipline. Whether you compete at a national or international level or you ride for fun and relaxation, we understand what your horse means to you.

The Avenel Equine Hospital team understands that each horse is an individual. We understand that a personal relationship between the horse owner and their equine veterinarian is part of the foundation of a successful horse and rider team.

Both Pleasure and Performance Horses can have extended and successful careers as athletes and companions. We provide individually tailored veterinary management programmes to help you achieve this for your horse.
