Blaircourt Equine Veterinary Clinic Ltd – Vets in Chelmsford
Clinic Overview
Blaircourt Equine Veterinary Clinic Ltd is set up primarily for horse care (multiple reviews mention long-term equine clients, pre-purchase vetting, and horses having surgical procedures at the clinic), but reviews also describe small-animal care (including a cat being put to sleep). The clinic is listed as offering emergency veterinary services and as a veterinary nurse training facility.
Decision-relevant details owners mention include
- •Horses undergoing two surgical procedures at the practice, with “exemplary” follow-up care afterwards (reviewed by one owner).
- •Pre-purchase vetting for a horse carried out by a named vet (Ralph).
- •End-of-life care for a cat, where the team’s handling of the appointment is described as especially considerate and respectful.

DANGEROUS! All I can say is I hope they’re a lot more considerate to the animals they look after than to people when they’re driving! Pulled out twice on me on the motorway without looking properly (or maybe looking but not caring!) causing me to break very suddenly both times and I had my very young baby in the car. Hope this sends a message to please be more careful when you’re on the road.

Ralph is,an incredible vet, I used him 9 years, ago, when I was a novice and he came to do the vetting for my horse, and after a very bad experience using Galley Hill after he left, I then followed him to Blaircourt and have always been very happy with him.

Had to take my cat to be pts and the care and compassion shown by Katherine and her staff is outstanding. So sad but they couldn't have handled things with any more care, kindness and respect than they did.

Ralph Hedge gas cared for my horses/horse for a number of years. It made perfect sence to continue the level of care given by Ralph. When he relocated to this practice as a partner. My horse has undergone two surgical procedures at this practice. The care given here is second to none. With every member of the team playing a vital part, in patient and client care 100%. Follow up care is exemplary I would recommend Blair Court to anyone with a horse or small animal for any clinical needs.
