Services and offerings
Ophthalmology
Detailed, competent consultations and thorough ophthalmological examinations, as well as conservative intensive eye therapies and surgical procedures (usually performed while standing in horses) are carried out routinely.
show moreInternal medicine for horses
The high qualifications of our veterinarians and state-of-the-art equipment enable us to solve complex problems in internal medicine on an individual basis.
show moreSurgery performed to a very high medical standard
Our clinic is equipped to a very high medical standard in terms of personnel (ACVS Diplomate) and technology (anesthesia, equipment, hygiene) and is constantly being further developed in line with scientific advances. Active ventilation with modern anesthesia machines, as well as padded recovery boxes and highly trained staff, ensure the smoothest possible surgical procedures.
show moreOrthopedics and sports medicine for horses
The challenge of accurately diagnosing lameness and riding problems requires not only imaging techniques, but also experienced and highly qualified veterinarians, as well as a significant, often underestimated, investment of time. Our clinic offers specialized techniques such as X-rays and ultrasound examinations of the limbs, neck, back, pelvis, and sacroiliac joints, ultrasound-guided injections, regenerative therapies (ACP, stem cells, IRAP), and shockwave therapy.
show moreReproductive medicine for horses
A professional examination, including rectal palpation, visual examination with a speculum, and rectal ultrasound, forms the basis of the gynecological examination. Special endoscopic examinations are performed individually when indicated (e.g., endometritis).
show moreChiropractic for horses
Chiropractic is a manual therapy used for the prevention and treatment of the entire musculoskeletal system – that is, both the spine and the limbs. The spine is the basic framework of the body and serves not only to stabilize it but also to protect the nervous system.
show moreDentistry for horses
To prevent chronic weight loss, dental problems, and riding difficulties, regular oral examinations are essential. Our clinic offers professional oral and sinus examinations using endoscopy, as well as minimally invasive diagnostics and dental treatments to a high standard.
show morePre-purchase examination (PPI) at the Tillysburg horse clinic
A pre-purchase examination (PPE) serves solely to determine the current state of health of the animal by a veterinarian. The result can be considered equivalent to an expert opinion.
show moreEmergency medicine / intensive care provided by competent staff
We fully understand your fears and concerns when your horse suffers a serious, often life-threatening injury, illness, or colic. Our competent team will care for your horse: thanks to state-of-the-art equipment, an in-house laboratory, and specialized intensive care units with video monitoring, our patients can receive optimal, round-the-clock medical, laboratory, and surgical care.
show moreComputed tomography (CT) at the Tillysburg equine clinic
After years of preparation, we are proud that the Tillysburg Equine Clinic is the first equine clinic in Austria to offer computed tomography (CT) while standing since autumn 2023.

Such empathetic, competent, and wonderful people. Thank you, highly recommended.
A super friendly team, always ready to answer your questions. You feel like you're in safe hands.
Our history
- Tillysburg, the name is steeped in history
The castle of the same name in Sankt Florian, Upper Austria, was built in the 17th century by the field marshal Count Tilly and is the town's landmark. It includes a farm, the so-called Mayrhof, which is located near the motorway and thus has good infrastructure connections. Today it houses Austria's largest private equine clinic: the Tillysburg Equine Clinic.
- 1998, founding of the equine clinic
The clinic was founded in 1998 by Dr. Clemens Mahringer and Dr. Christian Franz. It was expanded in 2014 through a merger with the Irnharting Veterinary Clinic.
- 2022, expansions
Since 2022, there has been an expansion in the areas of surgery, complementary medicine (chiropractic) and ophthalmology under 3 additional clinic directors.
- 2023, a new era
2023 marks the beginning of a new era with the establishment of an eye clinic in Tillysburg for small animals (dogs and cats) and horses, as well as the conversion to include a standing computed tomography scanner and additional boxes and consultation rooms.
