My horse had two Sarcoids lasered. We were there just 1/12 hours job done! Very professional. Thank you and for the cup of tea on a cold day!

I would like to thank Dr Kerry for the help she gave for my 8 years old Ex-stallion Vinni . The whole process was very professional , smooth and hassle free . As a medic myself , I appreciate the good consultation she gave me before the procedure , the extensive knowledge and experience was obvious in her from the beginning . Many thanks to the whole team , I would always trust you with Vinni anytime needed . Hani

I can't speak highly enough of Kerry and the full team at Ashbrook. I took my horse to see Kerry on several personal recommendations for the first 'big' issue he's ever had and I couldn't have chosen a better vet. The whole team are amazing, the reception staff are just gorgeous and look after you so well. Kerry is SUPERB, really human, thorough, funny and you feel like you and your horse are in the safest of hands. Our treatment is ongoing so will continue to benefit from their expertise and loveliness. Thanks so much to all, from Anna and Tiamo

I had to use Ashbrook for an emergency call out at the weekend to have my young horse sedated while travelling. We were at a service station on the m6. Super quick to organise the vet to get to us, vet arrived within 10 mins and was very personable, efficient and professional! Thank you so much! (We made it home in one piece)

Just the best care anyone could ask for, myself and my horse have been treated like royalty by the whole team at Ashbrook throughout this journey which started in January with a serious tendon injury, I’m pleased to say she is making a better recovery than was ever expected , with a special thanks to Kerry ,Sam and Ian for their immense support and care. I would 110% recommend Ashbrook to give best care ever to your horse.
