4 months agoExcellent service as always. Gil is a brilliant equine vet, and understands the needs of horses and owners alike. Thorough lameness assessment of my horse including a ridden assessment which I think is invaluable.

6 months agoI really need to say this. My most beautiful boy Rocky who is an ex racer was stricken with choke this evening. I was totally distraught. One of my liveries rang me about his distress. I rang the most amazing vets on the planet. Mr gill himself came. What an amazing man. I truly thought I would lose him. Mr gill cared for my beautiful boy with such professionalism and compassion I was totally overwhelmed. Thankyou me gill from the bottom of my heart xx
