About Belmont Farm & Equine Vets
Belmont Farm and Equine Vets is an independently owned large animal practice based in the picturesque surroundings of Herefordshire and neighbouring counties. The team operates from three clinics and is structured collaboratively, with dedicated farm and equine vets working in species-specific roles.
The practice serves a diverse client base, ranging from pleasure riders and donkey enthusiasts to professional competition horses. Belmont prides itself on delivering a high-quality first opinion ambulatory service, with a proactive approach to case management in the field. Strong relationships with local referral centres ensure seamless hospital-based diagnostics and treatment when required.
Belmont fosters a learning-focused culture, supported by access to advanced diagnostic equipment including mobile digital radiography, ultrasonography, endoscopy and gastroscopy. The veterinary team is backed by a committed group of support staff who prioritise case continuity and help build trusted, sustainable relationships between vets, clients and colleagues.
