Veterinary Care

Horse welfare is a priority at Southwell At every meeting there are two specially qualified Equine vets appointed to look after the welfare of all the horses in action One vet is present at the start of each race and during the race follows the runners in a vehicle. Horses can be attended to in the same time as the Paramedic Teams responsible for treating injured jockeys. The second vet follows the action from the stands and coordinates the required response to any incidents In addition, throughout the meeting a close check is kept on all horses, especially those returning after a race It is standard policy that in the event of a horse requiring veterinary treatment whilst on site, screens will be erected around the horse It is designed to afford the vet and the patient some privacy Please do not assume the worst

Thank You To Our Sponsors

THE SOUTHWELL RACECOURSE EXECUTIVE WOULD LIKE TO THANK OUR SPONSORS AND WISH THEM AN ENJOYABLE AND PROSPEROUS DAY’S RACING.
