Vet recommendations in Northern Ireland

[Bowie38]

Hi everyone. Can you recommend a vet for a pre purchase horse vetting in Northern Ireland please? Thanks in advance!

Which area of NI? Manor Equine Vets in county Down are my go to- very thorough, but also sensible.

Depends whereabouts the horse is.

Whereabouts? We used a very thorough one Newtonards way

When I lived in NI, I used Bruce or Robert Steele in County Down, both were great equine vets. I also used their father Thomas Steele who was a legendary equine vet. ?

County Antrim, up towards the North Coast. I had a vet come out yesterday but I really wasn't happy with them. They were not very professional so I don't have a lot of confidence in their assessment. I see some need me to take the horse to their clinic but I don't have my own transport. Maybe it's best if I can find someone to transport him since you're recommending County Down. Thanks everyone.

Tullyraine are seen as the best equine vets in N Ireland, there is also north coast equine, where I believe one of the ex Tullyraine vets has set up

Coastal Equine Vets? I'm not quite sure how far they cover.

Hugh at tullyraine or chris (specifically) at KR equestrian would be my choices.
