can anyone reccomend any good vets in yorkshire, im in the west. I have a youngster that needs castrating. and ledston are trying to charge me 450 which is far far far far too much, i know i can get it cheaper but would rather use a vet that some one has reccomended to me rather than just winging it lol!
 
I don't know much about castration, and whether my vets would do it, but worth an ask? Mine is Westwood in Boston Spa, Keith Hughes. For more serious stuff I use Rainbow in Malton. Hirds are in Halifax if thats closer to you? think they would do castrations. :)
 
Hirds in Halifax are good with Equines as are Donaldsons Vets based in Huddersfield 01484 421412. They definitely do castrations.
 
Think you might find that any decent equestrian practice with horse facilities will not be cheap.

The old fashioned farming vets who will do it at your own premises are the cheaper ones.
 
Donaldsons did my youngster in Feb. Standing sedation in his stable. It was £250. When you say you were quoted £450 are there any complications like a hernia or undescended testicle?
 
Keith Hughes at Westwood did mine a couple of years ago and think it was about £300. Would recommend. Very professional and efficient and hardly any swelling afterwards.
 
If you're wanting to take him somewhere with their own premises to take him to then I can't add much to where's already been suggested. Only ones not mentioned I can think of in the vague general area are Minster over at York (my personal experience with them is limited (equine college my horse was briefly on loan to used them) and I don't think they're exactly cheap) or if you're wanting someone to come to you and do it then could try HDB vets who're based Wetherby way out. Not a clue what they charge for castration but have used them for years for other things.
 
Another for Aireworth Vets... We use them for day to day stuff (teeth, vaccs etc), minor treatments & Emergencies. They also saved my mums horses life after a bad trailer accident. He came home after 3 weeks of intensive care with them, and they did an amazing job.
Would also recommend Hird & Partner - we use them for anything lameness related (specifically Peter Schofield), and specialist investigations.
 
We also use Aireworth vets... again not sure about the price but they are quick in an emergency and are always on the end of the phone for advice!
