Home Farm Equine Ltd

Home Farm Equine Ltd is an independent ambulatory equine practice focused on at-yard horse care with mobile diagnostic equipment (digital x‑ray, ultrasound, endoscope and gastroscope). The practice states it has vets on duty 24/7, 365 days a year for emergencies, and reviews include an emergency call-out where a vet arrived within 30 minutes, diagnosed colic, organised urgent referral for surgery, and then returned for a follow-up visit. Reviews are mixed on access: several describe smooth appointment handling and helpful admin support, while one review says they weren’t offering services to new clients and wouldn’t provide phone advice.
