Services

We offer a complete veterinary service both on the road and here at our clinic

Our clinic is located just outside the village of Abbots Ripton near Huntingdon and is situated in idyllic countryside between woodland and farmland providing a calm and private environment. The clinic has a large airy barn for inpatients, an intensive care wing and two further stables for isolation if required.

We have clinic paddocks for our inpatients, an outdoor manege for ridden assessments, i.e. lameness investigations or ridden endoscopes, a bespoke hard and soft lunge area, a trot up strip and weigh bridge.
The car park is large, allowing even the largest of horse boxes to park and turn easily, and a loading ramp which makes delivery and collection straight forward.

The practice provides a full range of services and our veterinary care is underpinned by the use of a full range of modern equipment, excellent facilities and cutting edge knowledge.

We are a 100% equine veterinary practice whose clinicians have a wide range of interests and specialities.
