Clinic Overview
Bourton Vale Equine Clinic Limited is an equine-only hospital providing ambulatory, hospital and referral work, plus reproductive and routine healthcare. Reviews describe referral-level procedures and investigations, including an ovariectomy that became more complex than expected but was reported as successful, and a half-day of “intensive gastrointestinal investigations.” Practical care details mentioned include regular updates (including over a weekend), horses being monitored closely, being taken out to graze in hand to stay calm, and “immaculate” stables. Pricing feedback is mixed: one recent client said an uninsured surgical case was “very reasonable” with an accurate quote, while another review alleges “extortionate prices.”

My 22 year old much loved mare was referred here for an ovarectomy by my brilliant vets, as, although it is a long journey for us, she was fit to travel and they considered this the best facility. They were so right, a successful operation, even though it turned out to be more complicated than expected. I think the vet was Ashley, may have that wrong as I was a bit stressed, but a big shout out to you for a brilliant result. Such attentive care throughout from all the staff, I was kept updated regularly , even over the weekend. Horse was constantly monitored, taken out to graze in hand to keep her calm, and stables were immaculate. Back home now, staples out and the way to full recovery, thank you! Oh, and last but not least as horse not insured, cost was very reasonable and quote was accurate.

Visited recently as they were running a clinic. Incredibly professional and polite practice. All of the staff were so kind and friendly, I must have been asked if I'd like a drink 6 or 7 times in the 2 hours I was there! Highly recommend.

We have been with this practise for probably 60 years. Although I so often miss the geniuses of the past I have to thank the current vets for their brilliant care of my horse Enjoy. Without all involved he would not still be with us. Thank you.

Highly unprofessional conduct for extortionate prices. Save your money and find a service which shows care for both the consumer and the animal.

Excellent equine hospital. Attended with my horse for a half day of intensive gastrointestinal investigations. Well-equipped and excellent facilities. I was extremely impressed by the competence, professionalism and kindliness of all the nursing and support staff. Good value for money. I would happily drive the extra 90 mins to attend this clinic over Liphook Equine Hospital, Surrey.
