Despite being around horses many years and working in small animal vets, I’ve been lucky enough to never have needed a vet for any horse. Until Friday evening when my 8yo 17.2hh giant choked on the equivalent of hamster food. The vet that came out to him on the bank holiday night was so patient and good with him but unfortunately he rechoked again around midnight. We were told he needed to be scoped and that he needed to come to the clinic. The team were incredibly patient while we tried to find transport and both vets that worked with him explained everything so well and were super transparent regarding payment. Could not be more grateful to them both for taking such good care of him. You’ll be glad to hear he’s doing so much better enjoying his old man mash

So lucky to have the Team at Hampden Equine look after me & my horses for over 20 years now. The most professional, caring & supportive vets who I can trust implicitly whilst always feeling that decisions are made with the horse's best interests at heart. Couldn't recommend them more. I wouldn't use anyone else.

The most amazing equine clinic & vets. Laura the vet has always been incredible over the years and I’d trust her care and judgement in any situation. Steph (veterinary nurse/assistant) is also fantastic, kind, knowledgeable and professional. Very lucky to have this fantastic practice with such talented clinicians on our doorstep.
