Making a complaint
If you feel you are having problems with the service you have received, please let us know:
• Talk to the person in charge of your horse’s care – they may be able to resolve your concern there and then
• If they are unavailable, please talk to any other member of our team who will be happy to listen – we would like to hear your concerns as soon as possible
• Alternatively, you are welcome to write to us. Please address all correspondence to our Practice Manager. It would be helpful to provide the following information:

(iii) The date of your last appointment
(iv) A brief description of your concerns
(v) A brief overview of your concerns and how you would like it to be addressed by our team (if at all possible)

We will treat any concern you wish to address in confidence. Once a Complaint letter has been received, we will contact you to find out more. Please let us know the most convenient time to speak and the best telephone number to use. We may need to look into the matter further before being able to reach a conclusion; if this is the case we will do our best to do so as quickly as possible and will reply to you as soon as we are able to.
