The Liphook Equine Hospital Ltd

Equine hospital providing emergency care and inpatient treatment, with an on-site veterinary nurse training facility. Recent reviews describe horses being admitted as emergencies (including severe lameness) and staying in hospital with regular updates—one owner specifically mentions “honest” daily updates, and another says the team sent videos during the horse’s stay to keep them involved step-by-step. Reviews also show a mismatch in experiences around end-of-life care: one owner reports an hour’s delay and an abrupt manner during a planned euthanasia visit.

Services

•Emergency equine care (described by owners bringing horses in as emergencies).
•Inpatient/hospital care (owners describe horses staying in hospital and receiving daily updates).
•Lameness assessment/care (a horse admitted “very badly lame,” with ongoing communication and progress updates).
•Euthanasia (one review describes a vet attending to put a horse to sleep).
•Veterinary nurse training facility (explicitly listed in the clinic data).

People

•Russel Parker (named by an owner during an emergency admission): praised for support during the horse’s hospital stay and for “honest” daily updates.
•Rosie and Lauren (named alongside Russel Parker): thanked as part of the team looking after a horse during an emergency stay.
•Pete Gallon (spelling as written by the reviewer): described by a long-term client as consistently professional and reassuring.
•Ricardo: one owner reports he arrived about an hour late for a pre-booked euthanasia appointment and came across as abrupt on arrival; the owner felt this lacked empathy given the situation.

We had to take my gelding as an emergency to liphook hospital and the minute he walked off the trailer we were both looked after . The staff are so kind, compassionate and professional. We thank Russel parker , Rosie , Lauren and the team for looking after Chento and being honest on his daily updates. Thank you all so much for being supportive throughout his stay.

My horse went in very badly lame and the vets are all super friendly, sending videos of my horse to me, and keeping my involved with every step. Thanks so much. :)

Ricardo was the vet appointed for putting our horse to sleep recently. He arrived 1 hour late to our appointment which we had booked in advance to reduce the stress for us and our horse. We were informed by the receptionist that Ricardo would arrive half an hour late, and when that half an hour passed we were phoned again by the receptionist to say Ricardo was around 20 minutes drive away. These circumstances were far from ideal on a stressful day. When Ricardo arrived he said sorry I am late, where do you want it done in an abrupt manner. This did not demonstrate empathy towards the stress and discomfort we were under considering the circumstances of putting our pet of over 20 years to sleep, and having to wait 1 hour from our original appointment time.
