Lizzie has been to my ponies for 3 years now, they are both so relaxed around her and it’s made their annuals a breeze! Thanks Lizzie.

Amazing! Went to view a horse for the 2nd time on a Thursday decided that if I still liked her I would buy her and get her vetted. Phoned De Boer and Taylor late Thursday evening (6/7pm) and they said they could vet her the next day as they had a cancellation. Very professional and listened to exactly what we were planning to do with the horse and we had her 5 stage vetted the next day. Remmer phoned straight after he was done vetting and advised what a lovely horse she was and she was fit for purpose and therefor passed! An excellent quick but professional service.
