Hamilton Equine Veterinary Practice Limited

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).
