This practice has looked after my little herd of horses and ponies now for many years. I would rate them 6 stars if I could. Always a correct diagnosis even with quite rare conditions and thorough treatment plan. Especially good with the oldies of which I have had a few. Love the proactive approach and we have been able to mitigate problems before they get too bad and the benefits to the horses welfare are obvious. And they are lovely people......
