Glasgow Equine Hospital and Practice

Glasgow Equine Hospital and Practice is a university-affiliated equine referral hospital alongside a general practice. The website positions it for complex investigations and referral work (including MRI study, diagnostic imaging, internal medicine, surgery and lameness), while also offering routine equine services like preventative healthcare and pre-purchase examinations. It also states 24/7 emergency cover is available for registered clients.

Review signals are mixed: several owners describe horses being well looked after and vets explaining findings and prognosis in plain language, but one reviewer (posting the same 1‑star account twice) alleges serious problems around estimates, payment expectations and being charged emergency fees, while still praising a named vet and the grooms for the horse’s care.
