All my experiences of Leahurst so far have been fantastic. From an emergency situation to a more routine check up, the staff are so helpful and friendly and I feel like they go above and beyond. Very grateful to have them within 30 minutes from the yard.

Sadly we lost our Danny today but the staff were brilliant and never gave up on our boy until it was clear that letting him go was the only option. Throughout all staff were caring and showed compassion to both us and our beautiful horse.
