My friend's horse had to be pts today (Sunday). Gonçalo came out to see Vinny. I can't express my gratitude enough for his care and compassion toward my friend and her beloved horse. My friend couldn't emotionally be there during the process but Gonçalo was so patient explaining what would happen and his care during the process was second to none. He made this difficult process so much easier to bare. Thank you so much at this difficult time.

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.
