State-of-the-art facilities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The small town of Niederlenz in the heart of the canton Aargau is around half an hour\u2019s drive from Z\u00fcrich and is home to one of Europe\u2019s most advanced equine hospitals. Founded in 1981 as Pferdeklinik Neugraben AG, even then the practice enjoyed an outstanding reputation. In late 2019, the hospital moved from its idyllic but somewhat confined premises in the centre of Nieder-
lenz to a newly built and markedly more spacious facility at the town\u2019s outskirts. As a true logistical feat, the move was successful thanks to the efforts of the entire team \u2013 as Dr Christian Czech, one of the hospital\u2019s senior vets, emphasises. Dr Czech is accompanied by two other partners: Markus Schmidt, who joined the clinic in 2008, and Dr Theo Tschanz, whose time at Niederlenz goes back to 1988. The team also comprises five vets, an equine dentist, eight veterinary assistants, plus four administrative staff, a specialist staff member responsible for the pharmacy and goods management, a site caretaker, and two stable assistants from Eritrea. A truly international team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modern, functional, carefully considered and designed with a passion for detail. The newly built Pferdeklinik Niederlenz offers top-level equine medicine in aesthetic surroundings. The performancearea used to diagnose movement disorders is unique.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Born in Lower Saxony in Germany, Dr Christian Czech has worked at the Niederlenz practice for 15 years and became a partner
in 2010. After completing his studies, he wrote his dissertation in the USA before following the advice of Dr Matthias Baumann \u2013 German equine specialist veterinarian and team eventing gold-medallist at the Seoul Olympics \u2013 and made the move to Niederlenz. The rest, as they say, is history.
Dr Christian Czech has two children with his wife, Dr Dory Czech, who is also a vet at the Pferdeklinik Niederlenz. When not with his family, caring for patients or devoting himself to continuous medical education, he tends to create big plans. Building a new hospital was one of those plans, and indeed
a very impressive example. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cNot only is all staff at Niederlenz encouraged to<\/p>

take advanced training, they are required to do so.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe always strive to achieve the highest standards of medical quality. Our passion for our profession and empathy for horse and rider go hand-in-hand.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The imposing yet ultra-modern main building, riding hall and stables are set on premises spanning almost 7,000 square metres. At the heart of the site is a unique covered trotting area, including two lunging rings with hard and soft floors as well as an undulating, slip-proof surface to assess horses\u2019 coordination skills and back mobility. All of these facilities have been carefully considered into the smallest detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our services for you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • 25 stalls are available<\/li>
  • three can house outpatients in case of waiting times prior to treatment<\/li>
  • two isolation stalls<\/li>
  • four stalls for horses recovering from scintigraphy<\/li>
  • a generously proportioned treatment room adjoined by three smaller treatment rooms<\/li>
  • a separate X-ray and scintigraphy room<\/li>
  • special areas for computed tomography and magnetic-resonance imaging<\/li>
  • a diagnostic room for emergency patients that doubles up as an operating theatre for procedures on standing horses<\/li>
  • a separate area for the blacksmith which can also act as a treatment room<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Two stalls are located directly adjacent to the operating theatre \u2013 one pre-op stall
    and one recovery stall. Staff prepares horses before they reach the operating theatre to ensure they are as sterile as possible upon arrival, thereby reducing the risk of complications due to infection.
    The stables, outdoor areas and separate recovery and intensive-care stalls are permanently video-monitored, allowing all vets to access a live stream using their smartphones at all times. This ensures that patients are closely monitored around the clock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Modern technology plays a crucial role throughout this equine hospital in northern Switzerland. Large flatscreen monitors are omnipresent, reflecting the importance and complexity of the diagnostic imaging facilities at the Pferdeklinik Niederlenz \u2013 which are state-of-the-art. Even at first glance, it is clear this is not an ordinary equine hospital. Consequently, the staff in Niederlenz is not only encouraged to take continuous medical training, \u201cit is a requirement\u201d, emphasise the partners Czech, Tschanz and Schmidt. The trio, of course, sets an example in this regard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"
      Always striving for the best solution for each patient: The Pferdeklinik Niederlenz team shows the same dedication to elite Olympic horses as it does to ponies and donkeys.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      While the Pferdeklinik Niederlenz AG also provides a mobile vet service with a small fleet of fully equipped vehicles \u2013 each equipped with ultrasound devices, endoscopes and mobile X-ray devices \u2013 the clinic is, first and foremost, a referral hospital. Its patients are by no means limited to the local area. As FEI veterinarian, Dr Czech supervises prestigious competitions, treats numerous championship horses, and also manages their health to already prevent issues. As a result, the hospital\u2019s vets do not only work in Switzerland but also travel regularly to Germany, Austria and France to see patients. After studying in Bern, Dr Tschanz earned his doctorate by exploring potential enhancements to scintigraphic imaging technologies under the guidance of Prof. Ueltschi. Since then, he became a well-known and highly respected equine vet in the French-speaking part of Switzerland, and not only for racehorses and polo ponies. \u201cMy personal favourite horses are the charismatic, athletic ones,\u201d says Christian Czech. That said, Niederlenz is by no means reserved for elite-level horses trained for Olympic competition; the team displays the same care and dedication whether their patient is a racehorse, a Western-trained horse, a poly pony, a leisure pony, or a donkey. The hospital\u2019s philosophy is: \u201cWe always strive to achieve the highest standards of medical care which is accompanied with our passion for our profession and the empathy for horse and rider going hand-in-hand. Taking this as our basis, we aim to find the best solution for every horse in each individual case.\u201d In Niederlenz, this philosophy is more than mere theory: every member of the team visibly embodies its guiding spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n
