At CCEV, we provide a high quality, dedicated and bespoke veterinary service to racehorse trainers, pre-training and rehabilitation yards. With over 13 years managing and treating thoroughbred racehorses both in and out of training across several main racing centres, namely Newmarket and Lambourn, we specialise in keeping racehorses at peak performance. 

Based in Marlborough, we offer a 365 day, 24 hour tailored service to trainers and owners which is designed to optimise both the performance and career longevity of the horses under our care through prophylactic and proactive veterinary management. 

From routine stable visits to complex lameness investigations CCEV have invested heavily in the latest veterinary diagnostic imaging modalities with the use of digital radiography, ultrasonography, respiratory endoscopy, gastroscopy and shockwave. This allows us to provide the highest level of investigation, treatment and performance management to the horses under our care.  

Working with a number of specialist referral clinics, our clients have access to advanced imaging modalities in the form of computed tomography (CT), Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and nuclear Scintigraphy (Bone Scan) alongside specialist surgical, medical and respiratory investigation and treatment.
