Clyde Vet Group is a large practice serving
central Scotland with a dedicated equine

diploma holder, and four veterinary
nurses/assistants. We provide high quality
first opinion care and receive referrals from
all over Scotland and the north of England.
Clyde Vet Group Equine Hospital is the only
privately owned RCVS Tier 3 Hospital in
Scotland. The clinic has 11 stables, modern
surgical facilities, a nuclear scintigraphy suite
and a full range of diagnostic equipment.
We carry out lameness investigations,
artificial insemination and medical work-ups.
A specialist respiratory surgeon visits regularly
to conduct surgical procedures. We aim to

and our patients with excellent clinical care.

Westmorland Equine is a team of four experienced,
dedicated horse vets, covering the Lake District,
Yorkshire Dales and Morecambe Bay. We are
part of the larger Westmorland Veterinary Group,
formed from the merger of two long established
neighbouring mixed practices. We are RCVS Tier 2
accredited and a BEVA approved AI centre.
Mostly, we work on the road from our vehicles but
our clinic at Kirkby Lonsdale has facilities for us to
hospitalise sick or injured horses, perform minor
surgeries and further investigate lameness cases.
We are well equipped to look after our patients,
with all the things you would expect from an
XLVets practice. We are strongly involved with the
local equine community providing competition and
racecourse cover as well as client meetings and
support at local riding club events. We are
privileged to enjoy good relationships with local
farriers, EDTs and physiotherapists, enabling a
holistic approach to horse health.
We pride ourselves on providing personal care
and a professional service to all our clients ranging
from much loved children's ponies to winners at
Royal Ascot.

Hook Norton Veterinary Group are a
15 vet practice near Banbury in North
Oxfordshire, covering equine, farm and
companion animals across Oxfordshire,
Warwickshire, Gloucestershire and parts
of Northamptonshire.
Our equine clients range from racehorses
and eventers to family ponies and donkeys,
for which we provide a 24-hour, 365-day

about at clients’ premises, with the option to
admit patients to our purpose-built clinic and
surgical facilities for further investigation and
treatment when appropriate. In-patients are
looked after by our team of dedicated
equine nursing staff.
We provide a wide range of services
including vaccinations, dentistry,
acupuncture, lameness investigations,
shockwave treatment, pre-purchase
examinations and exports. Our vets have
access to mobile digital x-ray, ultrasound
and ECG.
We aim to provide a high quality, value
for money service, with case continuity
whenever possible.
