Equine care in Palmerston North

Massey University runs an equine veterinary clinic on University Avenue in Palmerston North, offering surgery, internal medicine, imaging, preventative health, castrations and ambulatory services, along with a 24/7 emergency service. For horse owners and people training in equine care, it means specialist referral treatment is available within the city rather than hours away.

Horses also feature at regional events. The Manawatū A&P Show at Manfeild Park in Feilding, held on a Saturday in early November, includes equestrian events alongside its beef and dairy sections. Watching show classes is a straightforward way to see turnout, handling and presentation standards in practice.

What our students say

Beyond happy with my experience

I’ve loved my journey. I’ve learnt so much. I love how the tutors are there when you need you need them. Even if they don’t or can’t respond straight away I’m confident they can get back to me as soon as they can. I would recommend these guys to anyone who wants to study a course.

Certificate of Equine Care

I love the flexibility of the course and how well your enquires are answered and how quickly once you enquire about the course you hear back from the team. I work full time and often have to work on weekends so I love how no matter what someone’s always happy to help. Would recommend this service to anyone who doesn’t have a lot of spare time
