My horse was scoped for ulcers yesterday by Becky and Jo. She had a very traumatic experience 5 years prior with a massive bleed. They were in contact with me beforehand with lots of advice and support. Its been an awful time at the yard as we lost two horses in two days and as I new owner, I was obviously very anxious. As well as being so professional, the kindness and care that they showed to both horse and owner went above and beyond. My horse was kept calm and stress free with no physical trauma. Thankfully no ulcers found but a plan has been put in place to identify issues with her abdomen, none of which is money making to a corporate vet. They looked at my feeding regime and helped me make sure the measurements were correct. I am so glad that she is under the care of Cheltenham Equine. Thank you so much

I recently called Cheltenham Equine Vets for my beautiful and very much loved mare who was just showing signs of mild colic. She had always appeared to be a very healthy happy horse and I thought that a couple of quick injections and a few kind words would be just the ticket to get her back to her usual cheerful self again. Chloe from Cheltenham Equine Vets arrived very quickly by which time the horse had deteriorated and was clearly suffering badly. The colic became severe and an examination by Chloe revealed a badly twisted gut and large tumours. Chloe clearly advised me of all the options available and her professional analysis of what the outcome was likely to be. We decided that the kindest thing was to put the horse to sleep; with Chloe's advice I feel in absolutely no doubt that this was the right decision and the kindest thing we could do for my horse. It was the most horrible shock and I had no preparation for loosing a horse I loved very much. However, with Chloe's gentle kindness and true professionalism, my horse quietly went to sleep with the warm sun on her body, the smell of fresh Spring grass and surrounded by birdsong. Thank goodness this incessant rain had stopped for a morning and the sun was warm. I was able to completely trust all of Chloe's decisions and just concentrate on being with my horse for her last minutes and I feel very lucky to have such a wonderful, caring and wise vet by my side that day

I apparently have missed “media” attention regarding vets so can only comment on my own experience with Cheltenham Vets who I find to be extremely interested in our problems and very quick to respond (even when on holiday)! Everything has gone up and quite obviously vets fees will have done as I am sure their expenses have! I have no complaints whatsoever and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them to anyone!

Lovely dog wanting to greet the world it seems XD! Medication I paid for was ready and waiting. Whole interaction was done in a minute. Very fast service! All of the girls that have came to my ponies have been very friendly and professional. Always happy to help!
