Luxury clinic for valuable horses | DW Documentary

A special veterinary clinic in the northern German town of Lüsche is a global destination for horse owners. They flock here, thanks to head surgeon Dr. Jan Hein Swagemakers’ minimally invasive surgery - a technique he learned operating on humans. Sometimes, the ailing horse travels to the clinic by plane. After landing at Frankfurt Airport, the four-legged patients are received at the Animal Lounge by horse farmer Vanessa Wilkens. There, they get some R&R after their long flight. Then, as many as three horses are crammed into a narrow transport box. From Frankfurt, they’re taken to riding competitions and their new owners - as well as to Dr Swagemakers' operating theatre. His specialty is the widening of a constricted nerve canal in the neck. This operation allows sick horses to trot and jump again withoutstumbling, or feeling pain. The 63-year-old Swagemakers is a luminary in the world of equine medicine. The surgeon also serves as the official team vet, for the German show jumping squad. For the owners of mare Quiwi on the Swiss border, Swagemakers’ expertise is their last hope. For them, the cost of having their horse transported to Lüsche is worthwhile. The film explores the work of one of Europe’s largest and most modern equine clinics, where the specialist vet meets clients with great expectations, and an even greater love for their horses. #documentary #dwdocumentary #dwdocs ______ DW Documentary gives you knowledge beyond the headlines.
