A friendly team of dedicated equine vets providing veterinary services
for all horses, ponies and donkeys.
Covering parts of Herts, Beds and Bucks.
Our Ethos
As a team we have all owned horses and ponies and understand how worrying it can be when your horse, pony or donkey is taken ill or injured, or for some how stressful it can be for a routine visit by the vet. We aim to make this time as stress free and easy as possible for both you and your horse by providing a dedicated, equine only service. Wherever possible we also aim to provide the same vet enabling both case continuity and allowing a rapport to be built between the vet, your horse and you. For us, our horses are not only an escapism and path to realising our dreams, but also family. To this end, we will treat your horse with the same care and compassion as we would afford our own.

“I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the equine team whether it’s for routine jabs & dental work or 4d xrays & scoping. They are always reliable & attend speedily in an emergency. The team are extremely experienced & work closely with owners to ensure their patient’s have the very best care.‘’
— Jo Stewart.
“Having owned my 28 year old mare since she was 5 months old, and with issues such as cushings, laminitis and suspensory problems, the care given by the equine team is as good now as when she was young and fully in work. All horses matter to them, regardless of their age or status, and her continued comfort and health is due in no small part to the care and expertise they have delivered. Thank you!‘’
— Karen Willetts.
‘’I would highly recommend Adele as an equine vet; being a competitive rider herself, she has an in-depth knowledge and understanding of performance horses which is essential for maintaining their health and optimum performance. It’s such a relief to speak to a vet who understands when you describe a”feel” from a horse that just isn’t right.‘’
_Sondra Rutter
‘’The vets are wonderful. They are thorough, kind and considerate to both horses and owners. I own a particularly tricky mare, and all the vets are wonderful with her needs and tricky ways when getting the work done.‘’
_ Steph Pollock.
’’In 2016 I made the best decision for my horses and started to use Adele and Hannah as my vets. They have compassionately cared for my 3 horses over the years - all of the vets, nurses and receptionists are just fantastic and so friendly.’’
_Harriet Gibson.
’’Unfortunately for me I've had a lot of injured horses. Jill the receptionist is always so helpful on the phone, offers advice when appropriate and she automatically books appointments around my work!
Adele is our vet, I cannot put into words how much I appreciate Adele's continuous support. She has a lot of patience and is always so kind with my cheeky arab!!! I have confidence in Adele's up to date knowledge and experience when making a diagnosis. Adele takes an interest in what you do with your horses and has played a huge part in getting us to where we are competitively.‘’
_Lyndsay Hutson.
’’I wouldn’t use any other practice. Jill the receptionist is lovely and Adele is my favourite, trusted vet. Even with my naughty lad she’s always calm, happy and eager to solve whatever the issue is.‘’
_Jo Shaw.
’’The Equine team are amazing! They do their best by me and my horse and I wouldn't have anyone else to look after her!‘’
_Susie Challenger.
‘’I honestly couldn't find a better veterinary practice for my horses. The care and compassion is second to none. Everyone shows kindness and empathy towards owners, over the phone and in person. I couldn’t fault them.‘’
_Michelle Greene.
Adele and Hannah always & without exception go above and beyond to help our horses during challenging times. And when that dreaded and distressing final decision has to be made they’re professional, compassionate and very supportive. I wouldn’t have any other ‘team’ look after my horses medical needs.
