As the Autumn is upon us, it's that time of year again to start thinking about castrating any colts that are of the age to do so.
We have our first Autumn castration clinics of 2025 at both the hospital and Bramling Court Livery, nr Canterbury which is less travelling for our East Kent Clients and also one at Rooting Street Farm near Ashford.
Please see the dates listed below. More may follow, the number of which will depend on demand:

The benefits of the castrate clinics include the procedure being carried out in a clean, controlled environment with the assistance of our experienced nursing team, as well as 20% reduction in cost of the procedure.
There are a few factors however, which need to be met and considered prior to booking:
- The clinics are for registered clients of Bell Equine Veterinary Clinic (ie we are you first opinion vets and see you for your regular veterinary work)
- The colt must be 4 years old or under
- Both testicles must be palpable
- Payment is due in full at the time of booking for all of the clinics / the week before, when you will be called to confirm timings and to take payment if not taken on booking.
Please note: vaccinations, passport & micro-chipping, additional post castration antibiotics or post castrate complications are not included in the cost and would be in addition to the castrate fee. If you require passporting and microchipping for your colt booked in on one of the clinics, this can be done at a reduced fee at the same time if required.
If you would like more information or to book a colt in on one of the clinics, please call 01622 813700.
