About Us

Established by James Bowdler in 2005, Stretton Hills Veterinary Practice is a dedicated and experienced team of equine vets covering Shropshire and surrounding counties. We believe in keeping a small, permanent team that provides a personal service and continuity of care for you and your horse. We are an ambulatory first and second opinion practice and our high quality, mobile equipment allows us to investigate problems in your horse either at your own yard or at the practice. Our strong relationships with local and national referral hospitals ensure optimal ongoing care should your horse require surgery or advanced diagnostic imaging.
