Espinar Equine is looking for an equine veterinary surgeon to join its ambulatory practice. The practice treats performance and leisure horses within a 45-minute drive of its Newbury base.
The practice’s goal is to improve human-horse harmony by focusing on equine lameness, performance issues, and musculoskeletal conditions. It offers a range of services, including lameness workups, gait analysis, regenerative medicine, shockwave therapy, and diagnostic imaging. It also performs pre-purchase consultations, second opinions, and export health certification.
Espinar Equine is led by its values: clinical excellence, integrity, honesty, respect, growth and learning. The team approaches challenging situations with good humour and empathy.
In this role you will provide a first-opinion general practice service to clients’ horses, with the opportunity to see more specialised cases as your experience develops.

The practices take pride in building strong, friendly relationships with its clients. As a member of the team, you will be expected to maintain this by offering them practical advice and keeping their horses happy.
