Liphook Equine Hospital

If your horse or pony is prone to laminitis, it’s important to test for Cushing’s disease. 9 out of 10 laminitis cases are caused by an underlying hormonal disease. And despite the common perception that Cushing’s disease is solely a condition of older horses and ponies, new data shows that up to one-third of 10 to 15 year-olds may be affected.

The hugely successful ‘Talk About Laminitis’ has returned. Over the past three years, thousands of horses and ponies have benefited from being tested for PPID through the Talk About Laminitis initiative. It’s designed to help you and your vet detect these cases, treat them and prevent future episodes.

Laura graduated in 2005 from Liverpool University and first joined the Liphook Equine Hospital as a Housevet in 2007. She then went on to work as an ambulatory vet for Liphook Equine Hospital for 3 years, before relocating to Norfolk to work at an expanding Equine Clinic. During this time she gained her Certificate in Equine Medicine and following a move back down to the South is providing maternity cover for Victoria South as part of the Medicine team.

Laura has previously evented three of her own horses to Intermediate level, and currently rides when she can between looking after her 7 month old daughter, her husband and two Hungarian Vizslas!
