Sounder Equine Ltd – Vets in Marden
Clinic Overview
Sounder Equine Ltd appears to be an equine veterinary practice offering mainly ambulatory (call-out) care, based on repeated owner accounts of vets coming out urgently and arriving “very quickly,” as well as owners collecting prescribed medicines. The latest reviews repeatedly mention hands-on treatment for acute problems (for example, treating and closing a leg wound, managing suspected choke, and giving a steroid injection), plus diagnostics and follow-up communication (a vet phoning with blood test results and explaining next steps). Several reviews also describe vets adapting handling to the individual horse—one owner mentions an “extreme distrust” after prolonged sarcoid treatment, and another describes careful, patient treatment of a 31-year-old horse with heart problems, including successfully using clippers around a wound.

Hi Sarah Thank you all at RW Equine for the continued excellent clinical care. Your vets are kind and caring with each horse and adapt their approach to individual needs - in Squirrel's case extreme distrust following the protracted sarcoid treatment Emoji Hope you all have a peaceful Christmas and New Year.

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to Gonçalo for coming out so quickly to us and being so kind and gentle. He was a very calm presence whilst I was I quite worried! He explained everything clearly and advised on what to do next should things not improve and that he would be contactable over the BH holiday should we need anything further. Thankfully she improved with initial treatment and has returned to normal after the steroid shot. Incredibly grateful for the service provided. Always had a very good experience with RW Equine and would highly recommend them.

Goncalo arrived in good time, did a thorough general examination of Lucky, diagnosed Choke (which we agreed with) and prescribed an anti-inflammatory to help ease any discomfort in his throat. He was polite and friendly and we were very happy with the service we got, so all good

Goncalo was very pleasant from the moment he arrived, shaking my hand and introducing himself. He knew exactly what was required for the visit, was very knowledgeable and spent time discussing Cadbury. When he phoned with blood test results yesterday afternoon, he fully explained the results and recommended course of action.

I just wanted to let everyone know how incredibly happy I was when Goncalo, one of the Vets from RW Equine Vets, came out to see to my horse for an urgent, emergency visit. Goncalo turned up very quickly and was geared up with everything he needed to treat my horse's cut on his leg. As my horse is a veteran (31 years old) and has serious heart problems, he needs to be treated with kindness and patience, and Goncalo couldn't have been more patient when he treated my horse. Goncalo even managed to use clippers around the wound, which is something my horse has almost never had done. Goncalo cleaned the wound very thoroughly and closed it up very neatly. He also explained everything that he was doing in detail and gave me very clear instructions as to how and when I should change the dressing over the wound, and fully explained the route to recovery. He also very kindly said to get in touch with him at any time if I have any further concerns or questions; he also invited me to send him photos of the wound after a week, so that he can then call me and discuss how the healing of the wound is going. I really couldn't be more happy with the entire visit. Thank you so much Goncalo. You can come and treat my horse again any time! Yours gratefully, Ninette Page PS. Also thank you so much to Emma (I think that was her name) who took my call and arranged the emergency visit. Thanks to your efficiency in facilitating everything, my horse got treated as fast as possible with a minimal wait time for Goncalo to turn up. It's always such a huge relief if a vet turns up so quickly when there's an emergency with your horse!

I can’t thank the team enough for the guidance, advice, knowledge and understanding throughout the care! Thank you from Emily & Teddy Best Equine Vets
