I cannot recommend Georgie and Gem Equine highly enough. Whilst over a number of years I have developed a fantastic relationship with Georgie who has at all times been very professional but at the heart of that relationship has been the wellbeing of my horses, which is Georgie's paramount and only consideration, that has to be right i.e. her relationship with my horses is more important than her interactions with me who is secondary in that equation. Personally I wouldn't want it any other way. Georgie is always responsive and operates to the highest standard. This came home to roost over Christmas 2022 when Georgie had to attend at my yard ,not local to her twice day on a daily basis. Without over dramatizing yet again she saved my horses life. In order to avoid excessive costs, she taught me how to administer intermuscular injections which was invaluable especially as this saved costs over a Bank Holiday period. She is also extremely patient and masterful with my two year old who would test the patience of a saint! In conclusion a very talented vet and I would HIGHLY recommend her services.

I have had Georgie for nearly 10 years and I would NOT have any other vet. Georgie has saved my boys and done work on my horses that other vets wouldn't even consider. Georgie always finds a solution to suit you and your horse physically and financially! Also unlike many other vets georgie takes the time to explain what it is she is doing or going to do. Gives advice exactly how you want it. Up front and honest not sugar coated ! I wouldn't trust any other vet to see to my horses as in my experience she's always been the best. I've had horses for 18 years and the 10 years I've had Georgie she has always excelled more than anyone !!

Gem Equine has looked after my horses for 20 years. Georgie is knowledgeable and professional, the care of the horse is her priority. She will tell you how it is, but will be there to support you when things get really tough. She is always at the end of the phone providing sound advice and a compassionate ear. She works with you and is pragmatic with her advice .

Gem Equine has looked after our riding and driving ponies for about 5 years now. More recently one of our ponies presented on 3 legs early morning. Georgina was on our yard within the hour, x-ray on site, abcess diagnosed, drained and packed - pony stopped in the comfort of his own stable, no travelling to do which is a massive advantage. Given all the advice to us to care for the foot as never experienced one before. Emailed our farrier with the x-rays ready for shoes the following week. The service is excellent and flexible at all times - would not use anyone else.

Highley recommend Gem Equine. I moved to Gem equine several years ago. Georgie and Nerissa have given us such an excellent service. Very professional, easy to talk to and fantastic value for money. Always available when ever you need them. Tonight Georgie stood out on our yard for an hour -3 degrees while my farrier shod my young horse. Since he had laminitis last year he has been sedated to shoe but the farrier was happy to try without but Georgie was still happy to come and wait just in case he needed some sedation. I don't know of many practices that would do that for you.

I found Georgie and GEM Equine by chance as I was looking for an equine vet to help me conduct a 5 stage vetting. Georgie has been incredibly thorough throughout the process and provided a comprehensive and professional service. Her report is clear in its recommendations, easy to follow and she’s provided really helpful follow up advice. Having found Georgie by chance I’m very pleased to have done so.

I got in touch with Georgie as an external client to do a five stage pre-purchase vetting. Apart from being one of the only vets in the area willing to take on an external client, Georgie made the whole process simple without any hassle. The vetting was booked in quickly and carried out efficiently, the feedback I got was in depth yet straight to the point and made me confident in the purchase. Even when I messaged her on the morning of to add in an extra blood test Georgie was happy to accommodate. Overall a great experience and would recommend GEM Equine to anyone looking for a reliable vet in this area.

This little man wouldn't be here now if it wasn't for the help of GEM Equine! Georgie is excellent, straight talking, honest and realistic. Due to changes in location we have used several different practices for the ponies, some well known and some smaller ones, none of those can even compare or meet the excellent high standard that we receive from GEM. I would 100% always recommend GEM for any horse owners as I know that they will never want to use any other vet again. Excellent client care.

We have been using Gem Equine for many years now and rate their services very highly. Diagnosis is always completely accurate. Always at the end of the phone if I need advise and help with our 3 horses of varying ages..
