Daughters horse took poorly 2 weeks ago. Called emergency vet. Ruth came out within 30 mins. Diagnosed colic, arranged emergency trip to Poole house where surgery was carried out immediately. Danza home safe and sound. Ruth came out again today to do a follow up appointment. Excellent vet, her quick action definitely saved danzas life of which we will be eternally grateful 🙏. Fabulous Ruth thank you from the bottom of our hearts 💕

They are really good about being on time, the vets themselves have a great bedside manner with my girl, the office team are also super helpful with payments, queries and appointments. Would recommend for Equine Vet practice.
