The practice area covers Essex, Hertfordshire, North London & the Southern parts of Suffolk. However, our veterinary surgeons regularly travel around the UK to carry out Pre-Purchase†examinations. Blaircourt’s veterinary care covers all aspects of preventative medicine, such as worming schedules and routine dentistry, to more complicated medical matters such as Arthroscopy and Laser surgeries. We are fortunate that our veterinary surgeons have a wide variety of interests ranging from orthopedics, back issues and reproduction and have gained an excellent reputation in this field, especially when faced with chronic, low-grade lameness. Our philosophy towards veterinary care is simple — to use the highest level of diagnostics and treatment appropriate to any given case, whilst at the same time, maintaining a good mix of care, compassion and common sense in treating your horse or pony. This applies to ALL our patients, be it foals, leisure horses, competition horses or geriatrics. We pride ourselves on a trusting client-vet relationship and the vets at Blaircourt are available for informal chats on the telephone to reassure owners and answer any queries they may have. Following the relocation of Patrick Martin in 2014, Mark Meter welcomed two new partners, Patrick Traill and Ralph Hege, after which the practice has continued to go from strength to strength.
