Best vets out there and brilliant staff from reception to insurance. Stuart is the best vet there is and really helped me with both of my horses so much. Really sad to have left Agnews due to relocation, can only hope one day you widen your radius :-)

A big shout out for Bernardo and Robin who managed to successfully treat my freisian, who had a bad ulcer in his eye. It certainly wasn't easy fitting and eventually removing the SPL. Their calm approach and knowledge sharing was invaluable. Can't thank you guys enough - thank you so much - your the best x

Yesterday I had the third visit from Niamh following a bout of laminitis in my older boy,26. Niamh was so kind, professional and sympathetic about the situation. I have never experienced such consideration and empathy from a vet before. She put herself out to be helpful and supportive to blues needs and I felt so encouraged by her assistance. Couldn’t ask for more. Thank you so much

The staff and vets are all amazing, but Arnies treatment of our horse when she stood on a huge roofing nail was awesome. He was so calm and his experience meant we could make decisions easily and logically. . The mare not only survived without leaving the yard, but is out being ridden and fit. No sign of any problems a year on. Thank you so much. Would recommend highly.

All the vets at Agnew Equine are so nice to deal with, helpful, willing to spend time to explain all the options when you are faced with making decisions about the best treatment for your beloved horse. The whole team including the office staff are friendly and nothing is ever too much trouble. Best vets around and wouldn’t use anyone else .
