I haven't used them for a scan, but they are my vets - both the equine and small animal practice. They're great. Never had a bad experience in the 3 years I've been using them both for routine and emergency stuff. I've got 3 horses/ponies, two dogs and three cats so quite a regular customer! Do you know which vet is doing the procedure?

Slightly worried in what they will find as she has never been lame in her life, but looked really lame this morning.

Well she's in the right place. Try not to worry

I hope it is nothing sinister. One thing I will say about all the vets I have met from there is that they are all very down to earth and practical. Ask lots of questions - they are all very approachable and happy to explain what they are doing. What time is your appointment? Only I just live a couple of miles away and am happy to come and give you moral support if it is in the morning. xx

I will be alright thanks. I have to get her there for 8.30 in the morning and can pick her up at 6pm.
I use to work in Xray at the Royal Berks so can read a MRI scan. Maybe having the knowledge is not a good thing.
I live in Reading so will leave the trailer at the vets and go home.

I'm on first name terms due to my horse. Tom was in for 3 weeks he was well looked after and so was I every day I went to see him. I can not rate them high enough. Good luck

I got bad vibes from there when I took my mare for MRI - they seemed to want her in and out and didn't care about me as the owner. I'd give them a second chance though if I ended up in a similar position again (I hope I won't!) as I've heard lots of good reports about them. At the time though, I couldn't get my mare home quick enough!

Interestedto hear this as my girly is registered with them,but never taken her there myself. Although, when I've taken the dog there, they were very good and sympathetic.

I was very impressed (although it was years back!)
Pretty sure my old vet went to work for them...Chris Tufnell.
Hope its nothing serious OP

We used to use O'Gormans when we lived in Newbury and they were always very professional.

My mare has now had her Scan and I am happy with what I have learnt.
The vet was Bruce Bladon the senior vet.
Very good service and Very professional throughout the day.
I had a chance to see the scans and ask a lot of questions about them.

Bruce is fantastic - he does a lot of surgery for us.
Chris Tuffnell (lovely lovely man!!) went to work at Coach House vets - the other horse vets in Newbury - think hes one of hte partners there now

Chris Tuffnell was relentless in finding answers for me with my mare....he got referrrals agreed to O'Gorman and AHT for my mare, he made sure he saw us just before he left my local vets. - we have been eternally gratefully - it was 9 years ago and I could have cruelly pushed my mare as they all struggled with her diagnosis, it was sooo awful but he was so brill, will never forget it!

She has chipped the Navicular bone and it is inflammed. With some treatment and rest she should be fine/
She was a little angel for them.

I have used O'Gormans for all my horses. I have always been impressed with their services so would not be willing for my horses to go anywhere else.

So pleased for you that all went well and that your mare should recover well. I haven't come across Bruce yet (and quite happy to wait unless he does a routine appt!), but nice to know another name at the practice that comes recommended. I certainly haven't had any worries about my dealings with them to date, both equine and small animal, which is great as they are the nearest to me and only a couple of miles down the road.
All the best for a speedy recovery. xx

Emiliano vetted my new horse for me 3 weeks ago - my first dealings with him, but very happy with how he vetted. Very knowledgeable and approachable and happily volunteered information.
