I wouldn’t think Sussex Equine vets would cover that area normally.
The main equine vets are:
The Barn Equine- based near Ringwood but have a wide practice area
Endell Equine- based near Salisbury
Seadown Vets- based in Hythe so probably the nearest, but I don’t know what the equine vets are like.

I use The Barn Equine (a lot! ?) and the vets have always been lovely. I used to use Endells but not for a while. Worth googling and calling to enquire.

Liphook Equine hospital or Stable Close Equine (particularly Malcolm Morley here)

Not used them myself but have heard good things about Pinkham Equine. They're more Salisbury way I think but I imagine they would travel.
The local vets I use have a few new vets that I luckily haven't had to use so wouldn't be happy to recommend them but there is a partner at the practice whose opinion I really rate. Happy to send you their name if you would like it.

Endells-Salisbury based
I've also met Pinkham's vet through a friend and would recommend.

I got a quote from Liphook when I had a horse vetted not too far from Southampton - in the Portsmouth direction. It was astronomical - nearly twice what other vets were quoting. I used Blackdown vets in Guildford - that might be a bit far from Southampton but worth a try. They were very good, I couldn't be there but they phoned me just before they arrived to talk through any concerns I had and then I had a very thorough phonecall at the end and video sent through. It flagged up one potential issue which seller's vet explored further (it all turned out to be fine) and they were very good too. I think they were a company called Equivet?

Stable Close Equine -; Malcolm Morley is an expert in vettings

Stable Close Equine -; Malcolm Morley is an expert in vettings

Another vote for Malcom Morley here. Sussex Equine might cover for a one off vetting (they are my vets) but there are plenty closer.

Seadown at Hythe, one vet there I wouldn't use (PM if you want to know who and why). Otherwise Endells or Liphook.

I have also used Blackdown for a vetting, they were very thorough. Would recommend them.

You could try New forest Equine Vets or Pilgrims.

Another vote for Endalls gave my boy a good going over. Malcolm Morley a really good vet too at Stable Close.

 

[planete]

i use New Forest Equine Vets and really rate both of them.

 

[mustardsmum]

Definitely Pilgrims from Blissford in the New Forest.
