Treats:

## Summary Yorkshire Equine Practice Ltd is an equine-only veterinary practice that states it provides a 24-hour emergency service every day of the year. Reviews describe rapid call-outs (one owner says a vet visit was arranged within 20 minutes) and cases involving lameness assessment and dental problems (including a tooth-related abscess and referral for tooth removal). Feedback is mixed: several owners report responsive, proactive care and clear communication, while one recent reviewer alleges serious errors during a vetting (including missing lameness, incorrect sex recorded on the certificate, and not receiving X‑rays they say were taken) and says follow-up emails were not answered. ## Services - **24/7 emergency care** (stated on the clinic website: “24-hour emergency service every day of the year,” with “emergencies and advice” available 24/7). - **Dental-related care and referral:** a review describes a tooth abscess being identified, with onward referral to an equine hospital the next day for **tooth removal**. - **Lameness work-ups/care:** multiple reviews mention horses being **lame** and receiving care for this. - **Pre-purchase vetting** (implied by a review describing a “vetting certificate” and X‑rays reportedly taken). ## People - **Jess (reception/office):** mentioned repeatedly for arranging urgent visits quickly and answering questions “quickly and efficiently.” - **Magadilne (vet):** credited in a review with finding the cause of a tooth abscess and arranging next-day referral for treatment including tooth removal. - **Mariana / Marianne:** praised by owners for “going above and beyond,” being “knowledgeable, patient and very professional,” and for the care provided for a lame horse. - **Anna:** mentioned positively as part of the team providing care. - **Peter (vet):** one older review credits him and his team with saving a horse’s life twice when other vets reportedly could not. ## Reviews **3.9 stars from 18 reviews.** Themes below are drawn from the latest written reviews available to us. - **Fast response for urgent problems:** one owner reports a vet visit arranged within ~20 minutes after contacting the practice. - **Dental case management and referral:** a tooth abscess was diagnosed and a next-day referral arranged for tooth removal. - **Ongoing lameness support:** owners mention help with lame horses and describe the care as strong. - **Communication and manner:** several reviews highlight being “unpatronising,” proactive, and efficient at answering questions. - **Serious complaint about vetting accuracy and follow-up:** one recent reviewer alleges missed lameness and an old scar during a vetting, incorrect sex recorded on the certificate, not receiving X‑rays they say were taken, and lack of response to emails—this directly conflicts with other reports of good responsiveness and thoroughness.
