You are cordially invited to our 🎉🎉FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY🎉🎉 to celebrate the end of our first year in our new Somerford Park Equine Veterinary Clinic.

We've got twice as many stables, 2 large treatment rooms, a dedicated theatre and a lovely client waiting room. We feel it's offering a great improvement to the service we can offer. So - there is plenty to celebrate!
We'd love you to join us for our Birthday Party on TUESDAY 16TH OCTOBER, at the clinic at Somerford Park.
We will be running tours of the building from 6.30-7.30pm to give you a behind the scenes look at the new clinic.

And we will ,of course, be celebrating in the traditional way - tea☕, cake 🎂and a glass or two of wine!🍾
This evening is free to attend, but please let us know you are coming by phoning Lara in our Somerford Clinic on 01260 280800. We will be running a raffle in aid of the Bransby Horses, a charity close to Jeremy's heart.

During September and October we are having our Annual Vaccine Amnesty. If your horse is over 12 months old and their vaccines are overdue by 3 months or more we can cut the cost of vaccination..... the cost would be £60 for the first 2 vaccinations, when you restart in September or October, which can be done on a zone visit so no visit fee either!
So why should we vaccinate? - Vaccination against influenza ("Flu") is very important if your horse travels to shows, or if you ...are on a busy yard with other horses going out and about - Flu can spread very quickly between horses and they can become ill if they are not vaccinated - tetanus is also a disease we can prevent. Vaccination is very reliable which is important, as tetanus is almost always deadly!

How adorable is Liz's new addition!!!!!! Meet Brownroad Cowslip and mum Jenny 💕💕
Hope you have all enjoyed the Bank Holiday Weekend despite the weather! What have you been up to with your horses/ ponies/ donkeys? Pics please!
Liz Brown (equine vet) had a great weekend at the Donkey Breed Society Championship Show. Colin won Supreme Driving Champion, and here he is being presented with the Concours d'Elegance Award and the Traditional Rein Handling. Eddie was also named Reserve Champion Stallion!!!
What a fantastic weekend at Somerford International Horse Trials! It was a pleasure to support such a fantastic event and was lovely to see many of our clients competing - congratulations to you all! Claire Phillips and Dunleckney Lark had a great day successfully completed their first CIC1* with just 4 faults in the showjumping and a fantastic clear XC, cheered on by several members of the W&M equine team!
just picked my baby girl up xx �� massive thanks to Elen for putting up with a stressed Mummy ��xx
Wonderful team of vets. Caring, dedicated & totally professional. Wouldn't have anyone else looking after my ponies. Very happy Pony Patch team :)
What Fantastic vets and nurses ....so caring and go above and beyond in their duty of care,
Thanks for coming to stitch my pony back together at short notice.
Thank you so much for taking such good care of my precious Hillary; you all made such a scary time much more manageable, and understood her opinionated ways very quickly! Thank you again and Happy New Year, from Sarah, Ric and Hillary
Such amazing vets and offer so much advice. They really do go above and beyond for you.
Liz, especially, is brilliant with my boy, who really isn't one of the easiest to deal with.
Such a good experience with Wright and Morten particular thanks to Lisa, Claire and Liz for their kindness, compassion and experience in dealing with not only my horse who is a chronic COPD sufferer but also myself when I've been upset and panicking!
They always have the time to speak to you and offer advice and support and I cannot thank you all at Wright & Morten enough
Really interesting and informative seminar by Wright and Morten vets at Somerford Park tonight covering Respiratory diseases. A really enjoyable and useful presentation, not to mention a really scrummy buffet too ! Thank you to all involved in putting it all together !
On the occasion that I’ve needed an emergency vet, I have been wholly satisfied with the advice over the ‘phone or on a call out.
My pony was not himself on Friday night so Nicola Thompson came out to see him and straight away said to get him to hospital to be on the safe side as she said he had 2 symptoms of colitis. She stayed with us the whole time it took us to load him 2 1/2 hrs ,she was only to happy to help. It turns out he has got colitis and if it wasn’t for her actions I dread to think. A big thank you to her and write and Morten.
My little old pony had surgery last March and came through it with love and care from Liz and all the team.
Sadly Christmas Day he had become old and tired and needed to go over rainbow bridge .
Yet again Wright and Morton showed care and compassion throughout .
And Carly has been at the end of the phone to give me advice .
Thank you to all the team that has dealt with kazan x
My family & I would like to say a huge thank you to Nicola for coming to our poorly Paddy yesterday. Sadly it wasn't meant to be but Nicola was kind & caring and explained everything she was doing to us, she included our children (14 & 11) and was with him right until the end.....We've never needed a vet before for anything other than jabs & teeth so our emergency visit was all that we could ask for. Thank you Nicola - you made his last hours so much more comfortable! We are so grateful x
Love the new clinic!!! My boy had to pop by today. As always w&m service was incredible but the new clinic...as you can imagine he thoroughly enjoyed 5*star luxury!!
I sell horses & ponies for a living, so my vets and farrier are a crucial part of ensuring that the horses welfare is always our first priority. Over the years that I have dealt with Wright & Morton they have provided me with an outstanding service. Each vet has a specialist field of expertise- indicative of the passion and enthusiasm that they have for their job, and will ALWAYS go above and beyond what is called for. They are progressive and forward thinking as a practice, and will look at each clinical case from the viewpoint of horse and owner in terms of manageability. I cannot recommend them highly enough, and would like to take this opportunity to thank them for the truly excellent work they do.
I just want to say the biggest thank you to Wright and Morten especially Elen for looking after my pony best friend, Daisy! She's home now and already looks miles happier, she loves her sheep bandages too � thank you for looking after her so well!
I just want to say a massive thank you to Elen Lawton for yesterday helping me with my cob who was ill and it was a hard decision for me after 17 to have her put down and she was very patient with jasmine and with me helping me through everything thank you so much for recommend them
Fabulous vets !! X
Such a lovely group xx
Claire Phillips was excellent. Professional, Kind, thorough and realistic. Helped me make the hardest decision for my horse
Can’t thank them enough for the care they have given and are continuing to give my pony Gypsy 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
