Vetting in Sussex - recommendations

[Baked Bean]

Hi

I'd really like to hear recommendations for a vet to vet a horse for me - new to area so not sure where to go....

Thx

Depends on where abouts in Sussex you are. My vets are Arundel Equine, but they do cover quite a broad area - I have been with them for over 20 years and never had a problem. All the vets there are excellent

i used cinder hill, not cheap but were very good and as i couldnt be at the vetting, really did pay attention to what my concerns were.

Thx, I'm near Hastings, I've used Cinderhill before and really rate them but they are quite far away from me.

Cliffe Equine in Laughton near Lewes (they do come over your way), and Cinque Ports in Hawkhurst, or Rye.

I used cinder hill twice - first one had quite a few problems they picked up that the experienced owners had no idea about nothing seems to get past them! They also gave me a bit of advice on temperment and how to gently let the sellers down who were very nice people and shocked as they were completely unware the pony had so many potential issues - I decided not to go ahead on the purchase.

I was so impressed I used them again even though I had to pay a bit more for a call out as the 2nd one was not so near but thankfully passed with flying colours.

Vets very friendly and experienced at vettings and as I could not be there I wanted to be extra careful. They do listen to any concerns you might have and will advice on them.

Thx SO1 - may be enough to sway me, will give them a call today and see how much it would be!
