New developments for equine care industry in Scone

The equine industry received a boost this week with a major announcement from Australia’s largest equine hospital. Scone Veterinary Hospital announced the future direction for their practice at a launch in their Hunter Valley Equine Research Centre facility with a symbolic name change.

From January 2010, Scone Veterinary Hospital will be known as Scone Equine Hospital.

Angus Adkins, specialist equine surgeon and Scone Equine Hospital Director, says the name change communicates the hospital’s services and expertise with a more accurate representation of the focus and future growth for the practice.

“This is a change that celebrates who we are and what we do well. It celebrates our commitment to the expert care of horses and to the development of research and training to the equine industry,” he said.

“This name change also projects our commitment to grow our practice and reach into new markets of performance, working and pleasure horses.”

“Scone Equine Hospital is a more accurate representation of the service delivery for our practice. We have changed our name at a timely stage in our growth aligned to the relocation to the Hunter Valley Equine Research Centre and to the development of our new hospital adjacent.”

“The launch of our new name was an opportunity to reflect on the history of the practice and confirmation of the commitment the practice holds to staff, the community of Scone and to the equine industry,” Angus Adkins said.
