Waterlane Equine Vets

Equine veterinary practice dedicated to providing personal & professional veterinary care to horses

Founded by Dr Tim Watson BVM&S PhD MRCVS, a hugely experienced and highly regarded horse vet who has spent over 20 years in equine practice. Waterlane Equine Vets offers a full 24/7 service, with no call-out fee for pre-booked appointments (within 20 miles) and the latest diagnostic equipment. Tim is an accredited FEI vet and has a special interest in lameness, back problems and poor performance.

Holly Williams BVSc MRCVS also joined the practice in April 2015 bringing with her a wealth of experience in equine practice. Holly graduated from Liverpool University in 2002 and did a year of mixed practice before concentrating solely on horses. She has a certificate in general equine practice although her main interests are surgery, anaesthesia and stud work. The practice is experienced in all types of stud work, including AI with chilled and frozen semen. Laura Swinnerton also joined the practice in February 2015 and manages the office on a daily basis. She relocated back to Gloucestershire from her native Scotland, having previously studied in Gloucestershire graduating from Hartpury College in 2005 with a BSc (Hons) in Equine Science. Laura previously worked as an Underwriter for an equine insurance broker so has plenty of experience in dealing with claims! Her free time is spent competing her event horse, Molly, at Advanced / 2* level. Please call the office on 01452 770268 should you wish to register or discuss any other aspect of the work we do.
