It depends which side of Huddersfield - nearer to the M1, I'd ring Churchfield, on the Halifax side, Hirds are the equine specialists.

I *think* Phil has retired - just make sure you don't get the 'hamster man' (friend once rang and told receptionist not to send him to a colic again!)

If you want a very good vetting ring for phil at churchfields. If you cannot get phil ask for Tom.

I used to be decisive, now I'm not so sure...
I *think* Phil is only semi retired.
Tom is good, I have used him for vettings, I like and trust him,but I need a translator.
I once asked him to write stuff down but found his writing as confusing as his accent!

Is Tom an older Irish gent?
eta - just looked on the Churchfield website and yes, it was Tom I was thinking of - a few years ago at an endurance ride Tom was vetting at, my OH cracked his head open on the trailer jockey door so I dragged him along to the vet check. Tom agreed it needed stitching and offered to go and get his bag. Not sure he was kidding, and we politely declined but the look on my OH's face was priceless!
