Mayes & Scrine Equine Vets (M&S EVP Ltd)

Mayes & Scrine Equine Vets (M&S EVP Ltd) is an equine-only practice. Recent reviews describe long-term use by high-horse-volume clients (including a polo school with 30–40 horses over 9 years) and ongoing support for livery clients. Feedback is mixed: several owners praise a “realistic approach” and helpful support across the team, while one reviewer alleges very high costs for a “simple abscess,” poor follow-up (no check-in calls), and lack of transparency over who performed an operation.
