BELL EQUINE ambulatory service provides a comprehensive range of veterinary services to our first opinion clients whose horses are stabled within the catchment area of the practice throughout Kent and parts of East Sussex and Surrey. Services include routine primary care and lameness evaluations, preventive medicine (e.g. vaccinations, dental care, routine health reviews etc), pre-purchase examinations ("vettings"), reproductive management of mares and stallions, import and export management as well as 24h / day, 365 days / year emergency services.
The ambulatory vets also routinely perform the tests required by the state for the export and import of horses. Our vets are frequently on call for equine events ranging from local horse shows, Point-to-Point races, Pony Club events to FEI events and even the Olympic Games! We are happy to attend any equine patient, be it a racehorse, showjumper, broodmare, pleasure horse, donkey or pet.
We always try to send the vet of your choice to you, but in an emergency, the nearest available member of the team may need to attend. Our ambulatory team have access to clinical information, laboratory results and the horse's other data on mobile devices for immediate access for all relevant information. Most of the initial consultations and advice can be provided at the horse’s own stable yard, but, either to suit the client or to work along side the hospital specialists, we can also make appointments to use the facilities of the Hospital (such as trot-up areas, the sand school, X-ray machines, endoscopes or further advanced imaging). Not forgetting our wonderful equine trained veterinary nurses and skilled horse handlers.
