Vet recommendations - Ledbury/Hereford area

[Tanta]

Hi - can anyone recommend good equine vet practices for me as we are moving to Ledbury/Hereford area soon?

3 counties vets were always very good with my horse.
Peasebrook were good with mine also, however I've heard a few stories about them, but no personal problems.

Echo the three counties recommendation.

I have used Peasebrook, the vet care was fine, no qualms with that but the retention of the vets at the practice was not always the best so you would not always get the best continuity

Three counties is much nearer to Ledbury (about 30 mins) where as Peasebrook is probably getting on for an hour away at least.

Thanks to both of you - 3 counties it is then

3 counties are fab but the most expensive practice by far- believe me I hate calling them out- never manged to get a visit under £100 the call out alone is £38

You get what you pay for though. State of the art theatre and leading vets with a good range of specialism.

You will also find vets within the area that do not have hospitals or modern xray/scan facilities will refer to the three counties practice.

True but if I'm just after my yearly jabs its a bit steep to fork out £83!! Many on the yard do their routine stuff with a different practice then call three counties for the injuries and so on

I use Leadon Vale vets in Ledbury - I think they're really good

Graham Terry is excellent ! Herefordshire equine.

Graham Terry is excellent ! Herefordshire equine.

I'd recommend him too - but he's not cheap! I use him for injuries etc but use someone cheaper for teeth and vaccinations.

3 counties are fantastic, can't rate them highly enough

Three Counties have the best facilities and the largest number of vets so can get someone to you very quickly in an emergency.

Graham Terry - good vet - used to work for Three Counties.

Martin Leith at Leadon Vale is also a good vet but has no equine facilities so would have to refer to Three Counties. He is however a brilliant small animal vet and excellent surgeon
