Scarsdales will come to there. Not the cheapest (I had quote from them when i was looking but the horse I bought was further afield and the vets local to him were a good £20 cheaper). Google them for contact details.

We use Poolhouse and are in the same are. They are quite reasonable.

Chine House Vets at Sileby. Excellent practice and much cheaper than the vet I used in North Yorkshire.

I highly recommend Jackie from Scarsdale, she is brilliant.
Poole house are ok, depends who you get, I would ask for Gil. We have had one our our horses vetted by one of their other vets (not sure what his name was) just a 2 stage. The vetting took 2 and a half hours!!!! And he told the buyers that he failed him (which they are not meant to do, they are only meant to give their opinion on whether the horse would be suitable for what the buyers want) because he had cough (he coughed once, all over me, when he got some hay stuck in his throat after grabbing a mouthful when I tied him up). He also told the buyers he had ring worm, dispite not doing any kind of skin test (it was a rub off his flymask behind his ear) and a sarcoid (which was when the pony next door bit him on the side of the face over the stable door). We were sooo cross that we ended up complaining. Understandably we lost the sale.
The following week he was vetted again but had a 5 stage by a different set of people and passed with flying colours!

lol, Wispa, that sounds familiar, for what it's worth I've lost the sale too and the horse in question has passed a 5 stage vetting 2 weeks later...

At least I am not the only one! Very frustrating at the time, especially when you know the horse is fine! I can understand vets being careful, if I was having the horse vetted for me I wouldn't want them to miss anything out but telling people he has ringworm without doing any kind of test is rediculous!
