Sam came out really quickly after a referral and explained so clearly what was going on with my horse and a clear plan. We even made him late for his next appointment as he was keen to treat my horse rather than arrange another visit after assessing the problem.

Absolutely lovely vet practice! Very knowledgeable and approachable vets, down to earth, friendly and kind. Reception staff all lovely and make you feel like you matter and everyone genuinely interested in progress with your horse. Have never looked back since moving to Bescoby vets from a big practice. I love the fact that you know who is coming to see your horse and reception staff are knowledgeable, friendly and although never met them in person they know who you are when you phone them. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this vet practice! Thanks Sam, Rosie, Beth, Amber, Elle and Philippa! You’re an amazing team

Great team. A small, friendly and professional practice. Customer and patient focussed. Down to earth , honest advice. We have used Sam and Beth several times in the last few months and I have been so happy with care my horses have received. This practice stands out from others in the area that give the appearance of a corporate machine. Knowing that you will know the vet that is coming to you means a lot for continuity of care and the relationship between vet, horse and owner.

Everyone at Bescoby Equine Vets is friendly, professional, honest and hard-working. Sam's approach to diagnosis and treatment is very thorough and considered and we have really valued Elle's support. The state of the art mobile equipment and resources brought to the yard are impressive, and we totally trust the team to do the very best for our horses.

A lovely friendly practice recommended by my farrier, we have needed their services only once for X-rays on front hooves and Sam was very informative, and talked throughly about solutions. Our horse was very calm in his company. We will definitely use them first in the future.
