I would like to say a massive Thankyou to all the Team at the Equine Hospital. They provided an amazing professional but equally personal service, trying to save my Horse Bobbin’s life. Sadly, she lost her battle a week after arriving at the hospital. During that week, Bobbin was attended too hourly around the clock, I could visit morning, noon and nights & often do all three with a warm reception each time. I could bring her food from home, treats and sit with her. The staf...f kept her happy, comfortable, clean & kept her company when I had to go home. The vets & nurses talked me through every step and we discussed her welfare on every visit and regular daily phone calls between my visits. What touched me most was the effort spent looking after the attention to detail. On the day before Bobbin slipped away, the team had gone out and hand picked grass for the 3 Horses in isolation. There were bags outside each stable door. Also the feed would put in buckets & not mixed so they could see what the horses did and didn’t want to eat. One of the girls even bought a cheeky treat of some lovely Haylage to spoil my girl with. It’s all those special touches that helped me relax a tiny bit, knowing she was well looked after when I wasn’t there to love her. I got the call at 430am on Sunday morning from Lucy with the bad news but she was very supportive & again today when I went in to collect Bobbins belongings. I know you couldn’t save my Baby Bobbin but you did everything you possibly could & I will be forever greatful for that xx Linnie See More Read Less

Can't thank you all enough for your treatment of Flossie as the patient and me as the client. You all exceeded my expectations on every front, not just for the technical skills in surgery. It's lovely to have your horse treated with kindness and as an indivdual, rather than just another septic hock in box 4. And you get well in excess of 5 stars for your communication skills from the moment I arrived on the yard. There are far too few vet practices who a) phone every time exactly when they said they would, and b) treat clients as if they have a brain, and might actually like to hear some of the technicalities. So pleased with everything about your treatment of Flossie, I've been singing your praises to all her visitors! She's completed her in hand walking (I calculate 50 miles, no wonder I need a new pair of shoes, never mind her), and I sat on her for the first time today. The outcome is looking excellent, as per your prognosis. Thank you all so much.Read Less

On two separate occasions I have had to take my mare to Donnington for unrelated issues - the first time I was nervous as many would be, leaving my beautiful mare and not knowing the outcome. On the second visit, nearly a year later and facing a much more serious injury, I felt calmer than before and happy that no matter what, she would be receiving the best care possible. It is because of the fantastic vets and staff that my mare is still with me today and continues life as a ridden horse. They all went out of their way to make me feel welcome when I visited, usually after everybody else had left and gone home. And you would think that with hundreds of horses coming in and leaving again over the months that one more would be just another number. Not at this place - on arrival, despite there being nearly a year between our visits, two of the people on the yard recognised her and even remembered which stable she had been in. I know they may have seen her file prior to arrival but personal touches count. I am only sorry I didn't complete this review at the time and so it seems a little late. Thank you so much to the team. Emily and Shimira.Read Less
