I have gone for shotter and byers, they seemed really nice on the phone and apparantly they are very experienced with competition work, facebook site has some cool pics as well and they have 8 vets who JUST do horse work.
We had S&B when we were in Ripley ages ago but now have Mayes & Scrine who have provided a fabulous service since we took over the yard in 2006. They have dealt with queries over the phone and given sensible advice, get here quickly and do the necessary. Very accessible, very knowledgeable. And I think Judy (Scrine) was shortlisted recently for vet of the year, so others must share my view!
