I have used my current vet for the 3 years that I've lived in the area and previously found him to be extraordinarily thorough & helpful. Had to use him this year (think my horse just likes ensuring they stay in business- it's bad when the vets pick up the phone & recognise your number/who you are!) & I just wasn't very happy with the service (won't go into details online, nothing against the vets skill or competence tho)
Been recommended a different vet who I would like to ask for some advice, but as horse isn't registered with them suspect that is a bit of a cheeky ask.
I am happy to re-register horse with this vets but the trouble is I am on good terms with current vets & also go down there on a regular basis as they have a training/breaking yard attached where I've been helping with a friends horse recently & intend to take lessons at, so occasionally bump into them.
Which means if I re-register, new vets will presumably want FCH off old vets & I don't want to upset/offend them.
I know it's my horse & I can use who I like to treat him but would just like to be tactful. Any ideas? Did wonder about saying I was just going to register him with another practice in case of emergencies, but I hate lying! Think I think about/worry about these things too much!
