Our Charges – Equine

Caring for horses involves careful planning, especially when it comes to veterinary care. Understanding the likely costs involved can help you prepare for both routine and unexpected healthcare needs, allowing you to focus on the wellbeing of your horse.

Below, you’ll find a guide to the prices for a selection of our most frequently requested equine veterinary services. Please note that fees may vary depending on your horse’s age, size, condition, and specific requirements. All services are carried out by appointment only, either at your yard or, if appropriate, at our Newton Farm facility.

Insurance and Budgeting for Care

We strongly recommend equine insurance to help protect you from the financial impact of unforeseen illness or injury. Policies vary, so please ensure you understand what is covered, including any exclusions, limits, and excesses. If you are insured, do let us know—this helps us work with you to ensure treatments meet the terms of your policy.

In addition to insurance, we also offer an Equine Health Plan to help you budget for routine preventative care. This plan includes a range of essential services and allows you to spread the cost throughout the year. For full details, please visit our Equine Health Plan page. 

What to Expect from Our Care

Your horse will be looked after by our experienced equine team, who are committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based veterinary care. Whether visiting your premises or attending our facility, all consultations are by appointment and involve a thorough assessment tailored to your horse’s individual needs.

We aim to keep you informed every step of the way—discussing concerns, recommending investigations or treatments where appropriate, and providing clear cost estimates. If you’re working within a particular budget, please talk to us—open communication allows us to explore the most suitable options without compromising care.

Veterinary medicine can be complex, but you can trust our team to offer clear guidance, regular updates, and thoughtful support throughout your horse’s treatment journey.

If you would like more information or a personalised estimate, please don’t hesitate to contact us directly.

Zone Visits

To make it easier and more affordable for our clients, we offer zone visits for just £24. These visits will be with the vet scheduled for that day and you will be informed of the time of your visit the afternoon before your appointment.

Our vets visit different areas on set days each week, so you can plan ahead and receive the same high-quality care at a reduced visit fee.

Each zone is covered on a specific day:
Monday – North West Dorset (Blue Zone)
Tuesday Area 1 – North East Dorset (Purple Zone)
Tuesday Area 2 – Bournemouth, Poole & East Dorset (Orange Zone)
Wednesday – North Dorset (Red Zone)
Thursday Area 1 – South East Dorset (Green Zone)
Thursday Area 2 – Dorchester & West Dorset (Yellow Zone)

We alternate between Area 1 and Area 2 weeks, so some zones are visited every other week.
Please contact our team to check which week your area falls into and to book your next visit.
