The practice is a dedicated equine only practice offering a personal, friendly and professional service. We take a personal interest in the well being of your horse.

We strive to provide affordable preventative healthcare by way of our equine health plans. We will work in conjunction with your farrier, equine dental technician, physiotherapist or chiropractor to the benefit of your horse/pony. We have a list of fully qualified and insured professionals in these areas whom we have excellent relationships with and we are happy to provide their contact details should you need them.

We understand the importance of following cases through and building good client relationships. At this practice we allocate clients a dedicated vet to ensure continuity of care for your horse and to enable you to build a good client relationship with your vet each time you see a familiar face.

You can choose an appointment day & time that suits you. Our vets are usually on time (emergencies permitting!). We always advise if the vet is running late due to an emergency.

Estimated costs for procedures can be given prior to any visit. We also

offer a number of payment methods to suit individual clients.

We are the only equine practice in the Greater Manchester area to have mobile digital x-ray equipment, enabling us to x-ray your horse on site at your yard and give you immediate results. We continually invest in state of the art diagnostic equipment and more importantly we have the skills to use it.

We communicate regularly with clients. We will write and call you regarding vaccinations – ensuring you don’t miss. We issue seasonal informative newsletters and update our website quarterly. We also undertake regular educational events that are free of charge to our clients.

(Continued Professional Development) is compulsory for all vets. We ensure that all our vets undertake regular CPD to keep up to date with best practices and the latest methods and treatments available to our clients.

Our aim is to offer clients a first class service. Our standards are high, our prices are competitive and our advice is free, so why not contact us to see how we can be of service to you.

Merrylegs was a part of our family for 23 years and it was always our biggest fear to lose him. Thank you for giving him the best care possible.

The staff at the practice shown me, my family and Merrylegs such kindness and compassion at such a difficult time. The service you provided has been excellent, professional but with a very personal touch. We can’t thank you enough for all your help and understanding.

An extra special thank you to the vet that stayed with Merry in his final minutes when we couldn’t face it.

Many thanks

“ We are hoping we can express just how grateful we are in the treatment of a very special horse named Chianti that we recently had to have put to sleep. Two and a half years ago Chianti developed a condition that seemed a mystery to everyone, that is until Peter advised he felt it was a genetic condition. We contacted her breeder who advised that Chianti’s sister had to be put to sleep with what appeared to be a similar condition. Over the time Chianti was coping with her problem we had help and support from your practice in every way possible. On the day we had to have Chianti put to sleep you made a stressful time as easy as it could be by not rushing us in any way. We are so grateful to you for the way you were that day, thank you. We would like you to use this letter to let people know how caring your practice is. Very caring people. Thank you all”
