  Our horses have been with Rainbow for getting on for 30 years and we wouldn't consider going elsewhere. We have seen it grow from a 3-vet practice to the much larger hospital it is today but despite Rainbow's growth and success, its staff have never lost their personal, friendly touch. Over the years, the vets there have provided a consistently high level of expertise and professionalism. Would not hesitate to recommend.

  Where to even start with this review… rainbow saved my pony and provided more than a 5 star service throughout the full period my pony was there. To cut a very long story short- My mare, who has previous history of hock arthritis had became lame again around May 2023, I organised with my local vet for some steroid injections to be given to my mare and they worked at first. However, my worst nightmare began, my mare couldn’t weight bare at all and was hopping around on 3 legs. After eventually managing to convince my local vet to come back out, tests were ran for a septic joint. I received a call on the Saturday and it was advised my mare had a septic joint and her best route of treatment was surgery and I had planned with my vets to take my mare the coming Monday. I then received a call from Jonathan at Rainbow not long after who advised my best chance at saving her would be to take her that same day before 8pm. We discussed options and I agreed to take her that day. I arrived with my pony after travelling her from up north and I was greeted in such a caring manner by all the members of staff present and myself and my pony were taken up to the barn where she would be receiving surgery. I said my goodbyes for that day as we were unsure of the outcome at that time and I left and returned home from the night. Just before midnight, I received a phonecall from Jonathan to advise everything had went well and my pony was coming round nicely. I had a holiday planned just a few days after and eventually decided I would still go on my holiday as everything was going well and I had arrangements with my parents etc regarding my pony. I had visited my pony before I left and she seemed to be doing well. Not even 24 hours after leaving the country I got a dreaded phone-call to advise the count for the septic joint had gone back up and she would need another surgery, I agreed immediately to this and again Jonathan completed the surgery and rang me to advise everything went well. My pony was improving daily… until she became reluctant to stand and was laying down for long periods of time again. My pony was then diagnosed with laminitis and rotation in all four. This was an extremely long journey which we weren’t sure my pony would recover from but to cut things short, everyone at rainbow saved my pony and I will be forever grateful for the lengths all of the staff went to to make sure I knew what was going on and the best course of action to take at all times. My pony would not be here today if it was not for everyone at rainbow. They are so understanding when it comes to making payment and are so approachable regarding everything. I would just like to say thanks again for saving my pony and I would highly recommend this equine hospital to anyone that asks!
