Events News :: Nixon Equine Vets
As part of its commitment to help promote a high standard of horsemanship in the equestrian community, Nixon Equine Vets not only sponsor local horse events, but as riders ourselves, we also practice what we preach...
- "Doing our Bit"
- All our vets are riders, so we know first-hand both the pleasures and the commitment involved in being horse owners, whether you simply ride for pleasure or participate in equine events.
- On a lovely Saturday morning in September, some 20 or so clients and their horses set out from the Nixon Equine Vets clinic for a ride around the Stowe Estate. Riders ranged from international dressage pro trainers to 5 year-olds 's (children that is :)) and everyone in between. A good time was had by all, and after the ride, which lasted approximately 1.5 hours over some superb turf, everyone all came back for refreshments at the Clinic, before returning home, tired by happy. View the video clip above.
