Sue is not only an excellent vet, but also incredibly kind, caring, and genuinely concerned for the horses she treats. Her professionalism combined with her compassion makes a huge difference, especially in stressful situations. She provides an amazing service, always taking the time to explain and support both horse and owner. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough.

Really impressed with the worming advice I received from SES. It was easy to understand, specific to my horses and I was given clear explanations. It’s refreshing to receive advice that focuses on what’s actually needed, highly recommended!

I cannot recommend Sue and her team highly enough. Being available for emergency calls anytime you need, is not easy, but she consistently shows up with professionalism, calmness and genuine care. Her knowledge of reproduction is outstanding, and she takes time to explain situations clearly, which makes an incredibly stressful time much more manageable. Beyond her medical expertise, her support means everything to me- she is compassionate, reliable and truly invested in the well-being of both the horses and the people caring for them. Knowing I can rely on her in urgent situations gives me tremendous peace of mind. An exceptional Vet and an invaluable support system!

I can’t recommend Sue & her team highly enough! The whole team is professional, compassionate, and truly dedicated to the wellbeing of horses. From routine check-ups to more complex care, they take the time to explain everything clearly and make sure both horse and owner feel comfortable. It’s rare to find a veterinary practice that combines such deep expertise with genuine friendliness and patience. Their prompt communication and reliable follow-up give me total confidence that my horses are in the best possible hands. A first-class equine veterinary service that I’m grateful to have nearby!

Sue and her team are extremely professional and explain everything so clearly, we have used SES Equine now for a number of years and she has helped us to get our barren mare in foal, Highly recommend if your looking for someone genuine and professional.

Sue has looked after my horses both for their routine work and breeding at my own farm and while they are out on livery. Her manner is always professional and kind and she is always quick to answer any questions you may have. Sue has a great way with the horses and always strives to find a practical solution for both the animal and the owner. We had a great experience for my mare’s first breeding and foaling, she also went back in foal on her foal heat thanks to the careful care and management provided by Sue and her contacts.

Sue has done all the vet work for our stud farm for the past three years. We and our clients really appreciate the service that her practice offers which includes an excellent quality consistent service, including emergency services, and attention to detail particularly with follow up. This has meant that our mares go in foal normally on the first cycle of the season and that our foals, stallions and young stock get great care also. I highly recommend the services that SES Equine offers.
