BASED IN THE Barrabool Hills
Our Story
At Geelong & District Equine, our journey began with a simple commitment: providing trusted, clinical veterinary excellence directly to your horse's gate. Based in the beautiful Barrabool Hills, we operate as a dedicated mobile practice, exclusively for horses. We believe that equine care is most effective when conducted in a high-trust, low-stress environment, allowing us to offer premium attention in the comfort of your horse's own stable. If higher level support is required we have a hospitalisation facility in Gnarwarre for round the clock care
