Equine athletes competing at the 2014 Alltech Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) World Equestrian Games in Normandy, France, will have the best possible care available to them at the on-site veterinary facilities operating at all venues on a 24/7 basis.

Each of the five competition venues has its own dedicated veterinary clinic, each of which is supported by three top class referral clinics specializing in equine internal medicine, fractures, and the treatment of colic. The referral clinics, which will be used in case treatment is required offsite, are located within easy travelling distance and horses will be transferred by equine ambulance.

Each clinic is furnished with a full range of diagnostic equipment including X ray and ultrasound machines and endoscopes. Each facility includes a minimum of five treatment boxes, as well as a specific stable for any horse that might require more extensive monitoring. A team of five specialist imaging veterinarians, who are available for expert assistance and support, is on duty at each clinic.

In addition, each facility houses a pharmacy stocking a wide range of veterinary supplies and full laboratory equipment. An external laboratory is also available in case further diagnostic testing is required
