Advancing Equine Intimate Health Standards Worldwide
Setting Standards.
Supporting Professionals.
The Equine Intimate Health Federation is a not-for-profit membership body raising standards, awareness and professionalism in equine intimate health, and helping horse owners find accredited, insured practitioners.
Setting standards
Clear, evidence-informed standards for equine intimate health, so owners know what good practice looks like.
Accredited & insured
Members provide a recognised diploma or equivalent qualification, evidence of insurance, and a commitment to ongoing CPD.
Find a professional
A searchable register of accredited practitioners, so you can find trusted, qualified help near you.
Welfare first, always
Safe practice is the core of our trust
Every member works strictly within the boundaries of the Veterinary Surgeons Act 1966. Our role is hygiene and care, never diagnosis.
Strict legal compliance
We comply strictly with the Veterinary Surgeons Act 1966, working only within our professional scope of practice.
We refer, we never risk
If we are ever unsure, or suspect a potential abnormality, we advise the owner to seek a veterinary referral.
We never diagnose
Members do not diagnose, treat or prescribe. All clinical decisions rest with a qualified vet.
Our standards are informed by advanced CPD and specialist learning with leading experts in equine veterinary science, including Professor Derek Knottenbelt and the Royal Veterinary College, University of London.
