What We Do

We have unrivaled experience and expertise in looking after many kinds of equine athletes. This makes us your best choice in dealing with the various issues that may be experienced by your animal or to provide you with quality advice when considering purchasing a new horse.

Between our Cambridge and Taupo clinics, we are privileged to provide veterinary services for many of the top eventing, dressage and showjumping riders in the country in addition to sponsoring a number of riders.

Since 2012 we have provided veterinary support for the ESNZ Eventing Young Rider and Development squads in NZ as well as acting as team veterinarian for the Senior and Junior trans-Tasman competitions in New Zealand and Australia.

We have provided support to the showjumping and dressage squads and also have a treating veterinarian at many of the main events around the country in the equestrian sporting calendar.

Whether it’s eventing, dressage, showjumping, hacking, or pleasure riding, we adopt a caring and scientific approach to maintaining optimal performance and health for each discipline.

While providing the most advanced methods for investigation of lameness, or poor performance issues, we emphasize the importance of getting the basics right – nutrition, dentistry and farriery, for example. We provide you with sophisticated advice and treatment to achieve the ultimate health, well being and performance from your animal.

Taupo Clinic:

Our Taupo clinic has a hard surface for trot ups and arena upon which to conduct lameness of poor-performance workups.

It is my pleasure to categorically state my support for a company that I believe the City of Hamilton and indeed the wider Waikato region can be very proud of. Waikato Equine Veterinary Centre (previously Hamilton Veterinary Services) has been carrying out my equine work since 1981. Since 1987, Dr Douglas Black has been Te Akau Racing Stable and Stud’s veterinary surgeon – a role that he has executed with total professionalism and expertise at all times during this long association. Waikato Equine Veterinary Centre is a well organised practice that comprises highly skilled veterinary surgeons and support staff. As a practice, it also stays in touch with worldwide developments in equine veterinary practice meaning our horses are receiving the best care possible. They have a common sense approach to veterinary care and service and I am proud to have had a partnership with them for over 30 years.

We note the high quality of vets through the practice means whatever problems we have there will be somebody with the expertise in the practice to help us resolve the problem.

I have been dealing with Waikato Equine Veterinary Centre (previously Hamilton Veterinary Services) for over 10 years now and I always find them prompt, accessible and highly professional. All of the veterinary team are excellent and easy to deal with. The practice itself has all of the up to date medical and diagnostic equipment which is a must when dealing with our high performance winning thoroughbred horses. The office team is efficient and very easy to deal with in all areas. I would definitely recommend Waikato Equine Veterinary Centre to any new trainers coming to Cambridge or the surrounding area.

Pencarrrow Stud was established in 1981 and throughout this time Waikato Equine Veterinary Centre (Division of Hamilton Veterinary Services) has catered for our veterinary requirements. This has involved every aspect, including Surgical, reproductive, racehorses, yearling sales (sale and purchase) and general husbandry. I have found this company to operate to the highest possible standards in every area. From receptionists and nurses to administration and obviously veterinarians themselves. They have an enviable blend of technical expertise and practical experience. The development of our operation could not have been achieved without expert veterinary support. Waikato Equine Veterinary Centre (Division of Hamilton Veterinary Services) has been an integral part of Pencarrow Stud for 30 years and we look forward to the continuation of this relationship.

Leon Casey Manager Pencarrow Stud

I am a Taranaki-based dressage rider and instructor and have, on several occasions, required the services of the equine specialists at Waikato Equine Veterinary Centre (previously Hamilton Veterinary Services). They have always been available for immediate advice, and have truly gone the extra mile on every such occasion. It is wonderful to know my horse’s care is handled in the most professional and confident manner. If you value your horses like I do, I can highly recommend the professional expertise of Waikato Equine Veterinary Centre.
