This isn't strictly CR but I reckoned you competitors are the most likely to be able to help me!

We are going to be moving to Worcester (literally a couple of miles east of the city) in the autumn and I've just taken on a horse that needs sedating for everything - vaccinations, farrier, dentist, clipping etc. I'm keep to work on these things with the help of the vet, farrier, dentist with a view to correcting them in time, so am keen to find calm and willing professionals to help me out.

So, can anyone recommend the following near worcester?

Vet
Remedial Farrier
Equine Dentist (pref not a vet)
Classical dressage trainer
Saddler

Thank you so much,
 
I am a little further south east than you mention but we use Peasebrook Equine Clinic as vets (who are based at Broadway but have state of the art facilities at Hartpury College).

I sue Alex Jessett for dentistry (although he is based over Warwick way). He is very patient with the horses.

I don't think my farrier would cover that area.

Horsesense at Solihull Riding Club are brilliant saddlers - a great choice, excellent trial facilities and very helpful people.

David Pincus is based at Hereford and trained with the Spanish Riding School I think - I've heard a lot of good things about him but not had a lesson with him myself.
 
Vet - Anne Gibbs of Macarthur, Barstow and Gibbs at Droitwich [Kearns and Rea (3 Counties) at Tewkesbury for more serious stuff]

Remedial Farrier - Sandpitt Forge at Grimley [expensive] or Clive James [PM me for number]

Equine Dentist (pref not a vet) - Phillipa Walker [I use Anne tbh]

Classical dressage trainer - not into dressage myself but Lucy Farrer, Sophie Cox and Leonie Smith are all local

Saddler - Jane Saunders at Equimix Saddlery
 
Dentist wise, try Adrian Brazier, I think he could really help you. He is incredibly patient and perserveres with really difficult horses, when other dentists have given up. He is also a bit of a horse wisperer and has managed to get electric equipment in my horses mouth without sedation. Adrian is quiet and will take things slowly and calmly.
 
Second Adrian Brazier he has been brilliant with my horses one of whom was very naughty previosly but he has never had any problem with them. PM if you want his number.
 
Vet - Definitely MacArthur Barstow & Gibbs http://www.any-uk-vet.co.uk/cgi-bin/counter/link.pl?id=4853

Farrier - Ian M Davies (PM me if you would like his number) Sandpit Forge are very expensive and told my friend that her horse was "dangerous" and would always need sedating, but Ian does him just fine. He has such a lovely way with the horses and rides and keeps horses himself which I think makes a huge difference.

Equine Dentist - Ann does mine and all our yard's, she's the vet from MacArthur Barstow & Gibbs above

Can' help with dressage trainer, sorry

Saddler - Stroud Saddlery http://www.stroudsaddlery.co.uk/ Laurence is fantastic but has quite a long waiting list and is expensive. Or if you want someone slightly cheaper and more accessible, (but still very good!) Robert Jenkins http://www.saddlethathorse.com/

BTW - Welcome to Worcester! x
