Agnes Banks Equine Clinic Open Day
Agnes Banks Open Day – What a Success
The Agnes Banks Open Day was a great success, with over 70 people coming through the doors to view the clinic and explore our facilities.
Guests moved through five interactive stations, each showcasing different areas of the clinic and giving insight into the services we offer all of which were a huge hit!
We were also lucky to have a live demonstration from the SES Animal Rescue Team, which was fantastic to watch and very well received by everyone.
A big thank you to Randlab for supplying the BBQ lunch it helped make the day even more enjoyable.
Overall, it was a great day had by all, and we loved welcoming everyone into the clinic!

Large Animal Rescue Training
Christine has been involved with training of SES, Veterinarians and Veterinary undergraduate students over the last 20 years. Through this work in Technical Large Animal Emergency Rescue and collaboration with Anthony Hatch, David King and Professor Josh Slater they have trained 500 students, 200 vets and 50 nurses. This work has led to the resources in NSW for three large animal rescue vehicles equiped and ready to dispatch to incidents around the state.
Sponsorship
Our veterinarians love being out on the ground with our clients, ensuring they can compete with confidence and rely on consistent veterinary oversight and care at their events.
The ABEC team is proud to be a long-standing supporter of FEI disciplines, including eventing, showjumping, dressage, polo, and showing.
We are equally passionate about supporting our local equestrian community — from the Hawkesbury Show and show horse events, to CDI dressage at SIEC, polo events, and local Pony Club competitions.
