Hi SAL!

Swanspool are very good, i use them too. But im not sure if they will travel that far? They would be my first choice anyway.

If not there is a Vets in Towcester that i have heard are good, though i have never used them myself.

Good luck - let us know how it goes!!

We also use Swanspool, but Towcester is probably going to be nearest. Have heard good things but never used them

if Swanspool are too busy and its too far...it might be worth ringing Baskerville Horgan and Partners....Aylesbury ...I think they have an Equine place at Mursley. Terry Horgan vetted one for me a few years ago.

Towcester vets are really good and if not Jane Nixon is buckingham and would probably do Brackley as it is not too much of a distance.

Towcester are fine they have an equine unit & deal with horses all the time. 01327 811007 you could ask for Nick or Andy.

I use Towester Vets and they are brilliant, Andy is great very friendly and honest as is Nick. Actually all the vets are nice...

I prefer them to Swanspool as they are equine specialists where as Swanspool though good vets are more your family practitioner. Mind saying that I did find them very good and only changed to Towester vets 20 months ago as I moved yards and they are on my doorstep literally only 10 mins away.

Towester vets have also started a fantastic scheme.

Free call outs, -- different days are allocated to different areas. So let them know where the horse is stabled and ask which day they cover that area for free call outs. Will save you £30...

Mmm so they say but call them and sudenly they dont do it at all, like one of my clients did. Towcester are good but actually they are limited in their knowledge and expertise compared to Pat Daily from Swanspool and Jane Nixon from Nixon equine. I have used all these practices and they will all offer a reasonable service but if it was a more valuable horse and required a 5 stage and xrays i would say Nixons is your best bet.
