Vet recommendation for vetting in Kent?

[dressage_diva]

I'm in the process of buying a dressage horse from Kent (between Canterbury and Margate) but I'm not local to the area. Can anyone recommend a vet to do a 5* vetting? (I won't be able to be present at the vetting either).

Thanks

I can not recommend David McDonald from Milbourn Equine highly enough. Great vet and I would trust him with anything. Super, super vet.

I will second Tony Warr. I am from Scotland and he vetted my horse in Kent on recommendation.

Another vote for Tony Warr. Google Wealden Equine for contact details.

I'm convinced Dr Emmanuel Engeli is one of the best vets in the world. He left Bell Equine in Maidstone a few years ago, became head of equine at Cambridge Uni and is now at Lady Dane Vets, Faversham, carrying out equine lameness clinics.

I've got no idea whether he currently has the time for pre-purchase examinations, but if he does, then you can't go wrong in using him.

Agree npage123 but don't think Emmanuel does vettings. Emmanuel operated on my horse 9 years ago when he was at Bell and we were so lucky he was there at the time.

Chris Freed from Lady Dane.

Thanks everyone. Am ideally looking for someone that can do it mobile (eg Tony Warr) as current owner doesn't have transport to take horse to clinic and I'm not local enough to take it to vetting either.

Has anyone used East Kent Equine?

Adela is my vet and she is great, but not used her for a vetting.

Another vote for Tony Warr, he's been my vet for 10 years. Especially superb at vettings.

If its between Canterbury and Margate, Lady dane and milborne will both cover that area and they go out to look at horses. Both practices specialise in horses and have experienced vets. I use Lady Dane, Chris vetted my horse 10 years ago and is still my vet.
Have the owners advised anyone, just checking they arent point you in the wrong direction?
