Field Equine Vets

- Emergency responsiveness stands out: reviewers describe vets attending urgent cases promptly, staying for extended periods, and continuing investigations when animals deteriorated or test results were concerning. - Thoroughness is a recurring theme: examples include detailed blood-test follow-up, clinic admission for further investigation after a choke episode, and a particularly thorough short-notice vetting. - Calm handling of anxious horses is specifically praised: one owner highlights a vet allowing breaks, avoiding rushing, and speaking calmly throughout blood tests and dental treatment.

Field Equine Vets is an independent, first-opinion equine practice in Kidderminster, established in 2016 and operating from a purpose-built clinic.

Where to start.. Julia is beyond brilliant. She came to see our new colt who’d we’d only just brought from a horse sale a couple of days previous & had taken a turn for the worse. Julia didn’t hesitate and did everything she could to rule out / identify what was wrong with our Finn. She stayed with us for 4 hours and was straight back with us when she didn’t like his blood results, eventually staying with us till 11pm at night. Julia is by far a book of knowledge and a credit to field vet’s. Finn has you to thank Julia as do me and my Mum. You are simply amazing.

I have a very anxious older mare whom I suspected has cushings. The vet who came out (Hattie) was absolutely brilliant with her. My mare needed blood tests and Hattie also checked her teeth and carried out the dentistry work. Hattie was very patient, understood when my mare needed a break, no rushing her at all and talking calmly to her. A very successful visit.

We needed a vet to check a pony / do a vetting under some rather difficult circumstances and also at very short notice. From the moment I spoke to Rosie on reception the situation was not only sympathetically understood but handled with the utmost professionalism. With less than 24 hours notice on Friday the check was arranged the following day on a Saturday with a senior partner who did the most thorough job and handled the situation with such professionalism. I cannot thank or recommend this vetenary practice enough. Thank you to all at Field House and especially to Rosie and Claire. How lucky we were to have called you.

Absolutely fabulous vets, all the staff are brilliant. We use them for both our horses and we can't fault any of the care or advice they give, always available on call or on the end of the phone, you would struggle to get any better

Really pleased with everyone at this vets, Dan came to an emergency call out to our pony a few months ago spent most the evening doing everything possible to save our pony who had suffered choke. He had to be taken into the clinic for further investigation works and spent a few days in after.. a great team of people and wouldn’t hesitate recommending them to anyone. :-)
