Farm Vets in Hungerford

## Summary Lambourn Equine Vets Ltd is an equine-only practice (as reflected in the name and in reviews describing treatment for multiple horses). The latest reviews repeatedly describe coordinated, team-based care for significant problems—such as an injured horse, a splint fracture, and a severe tooth abscess with a sinus infection—alongside frequent updates and clear communication between clinicians and with owners. Reviews also mention strong operational support from reception (coordination/efficiency) and at least one “sleep over” stay for a horse, suggesting the practice can accommodate cases that need monitoring beyond a single visit. ## Services Services and case types explicitly mentioned in the available reviews include: - Treatment of equine injuries (one owner thanks the team for work on an “injured horse”). - Management of lameness/orthopaedic injury (splint fracture in a mare). - Dental/infectious problem management: tooth abscess with sinus infection (described as making a very ill horse well). - Overnight/inpatient-style care (“sleep over” mentioned for a horse, with the owner kept up to date about what was happening). ## People Named team members mentioned positively in reviews: - **Mladen, Jenny, Kate (vets/clinical team; exact roles not stated):** credited with treating an injured horse, and with “clear communication” both to the owner and between each other. - **Ben (vet/clinical team; exact role not stated):** singled out for leading care for a very ill horse with a tooth abscess and sinus infection (“Ben was amazing with his team”). - **Caroline (vet/clinical team; exact role not stated):** praised for handling a mare’s splint fracture. - **Nicola (reception):** thanked for coordination, efficiency, and kindness—specifically for helping keep care organised. ## Reviews **Google rating: 5.0 stars from 15 reviews.** “Themes below are drawn from the latest written reviews available to us.” - Successful treatment described for serious conditions (tooth abscess with sinus infection; splint fracture; injury care). - Owners repeatedly mention being kept informed—updates on what was happening, and clear communication across the team. - Practical coordination is called out (reception support for organising care). - One owner notes their horse stayed overnight (“sleep over”), and they felt kept up to date during that time.

## Summary Hamilton Equine Veterinary Practice Limited describes itself (on its website) as an **independently owned ambulatory equine veterinary practice**, established in **2023**, providing care principally for **Thoroughbred racehorses**. The latest reviews available to us, however, repeatedly refer to **“Hambleton(s) / Hambleton Equine Clinic”** and include examples such as **colic surgery** and care for a **miniature Shetland pony**, which doesn’t neatly match an ambulatory-only, racehorse-focused setup—so it’s worth clarifying what facilities/services are actually being provided under this listing. Decision-relevant points from recent reviews include: - **Out-of-hours attendance for colic** is described, including a rapid visit and **phone updates while the owner was travelling**. - A separate review describes **life-saving colic surgery** with an emphasis on **minimising discomfort** and **daily phone-call updates**. - There are also **complaints about unclear/contradictory billing explanations** (upfront payment requested, followed by an additional bill later). ## Services From the website summary: - **Ambulatory equine veterinary services** - **Diagnostics** - **Consultancy and sales** - Species focus stated: **Thoroughbred racehorse** From structured clinic data and reviews: - **Emergency veterinary services (24/7 or extended hours)** (listed in the structured data) - **Out-of-hours colic call-out** (reported in a review) - **Colic surgery** (reported in a review) - Care described for a **miniature Shetland pony** (reported in a review), which suggests they may see more than Thoroughbred racehorses—this conflicts with the website’s stated principal focus. ## People - **Cameron (vet)** is named in a review for an **out-of-hours colic visit**, described as **thorough and professional**, and for **calling with updates** during the case. ## Reviews **Google rating: 4.6 stars from 94 reviews.** **Themes below are drawn from the latest written reviews available to us.** - **Colic care is a standout theme**, including an out-of-hours response and a separate account of **colic surgery** described as life-saving. - Owners mention **frequent updates**, including **phone calls during travel** and **daily calls** during ongoing care. - A recurring negative theme is **billing clarity**, with one reviewer describing **upfront payment for a “simple procedure” followed by an extra bill**, and saying staff gave **contradictory explanations** (receptionist vs manager). - Some reviews are brief but positive (e.g., “excellent service,” “professional”).
