In most circumstances, we feel that the best place to examine your horse is at the yard at which they are kept. This reduces the stresses that can be caused during transportation, especially for sick patients.

We welcome yard visits where multiple horses can be seen, and offer discounts on the costs of the individual visits for this. We also consider running clinics specific to different needs, for example, laminitis clinics, scoping clinics etc. If you would be interested in hosting an event in your yard, please contact the surgery for more details.
