Bearl Equine Clinic Limited – Vets in Stocksfield
Clinic Overview
Bearl Equine Clinic Limited is an equine practice (horses, ponies and donkeys) and is a proud member of the VetPartners group. Based on its stated services, it’s set up for both routine equine work and more advanced investigation/surgical cases—owners and yard clients mention a lameness case progressing to surgery, and the website lists diagnostic options like standing MRI and scintigraphy (bone scanning). Recent reviews also highlight practical service points such as fast booking for a 5‑stage vetting and a strangles test result turnaround within 24 hours. One review raises a non-clinical concern about a landlord’s attitude regarding parking during deliveries, which contrasts with otherwise very positive comments about the clinic team.

We used bearl for the past 12 years for my cob mare. Couldn't fault them at all over the years, the vets were always on time, full of knowledge and always very caring towards her. The reception staff were always very helpful and friendly too- in person and over the phone. Sadly we had to have her pts on the 21st April but the vet was so kind and professional on her last day. I couldn't have wished for a more compassionate and stress free vet- it was very much appreciated. I wouldn't hesitate in reccomending these vets to anyone, really great service.

I’ve used Bearl a number of times. Not just for our own horses but also horses from our own yard. They have been excellent every time. The facilities and equipment they have in order to deal with your horse is first class. Wouldn’t use anyone else.

Fantastic equine practice. From the vets themselves, through the entire staff team to the receptionists have been fantastic. I've had great support from them with standard veterinary care, through to a lameness case resulting in surgery, and nothing has been too much trouble, and every option has been explored. Wouldn't use anywhere else.
