Zone Days for July & August

🩺Zone visits offer a reduced price visit for planned routine veterinary work —for example vaccinations, prescription checks, blood samples, dentals and health scheme visits.
📗We are able to offer this service by mapping the most efficient route around the calls in the area -therefore it is not possible to specify a time or vet for a zone visit.
🚗The zone days allow us to save travel time and fuel, reducing costs and the environmental impact of our routine equine visits. We are pleased to be able to pass on those savings to our clients and offer them a cost-effective visit option for routine pre-planned veterinary work.
⌚️Time for route planning is required, therefore appointments must be booked by 1pm on the Friday before the visit.

We love receiving updates from owners with their gorgeous new arrivals at this time of year, if you have a new little face running around at home we would love to see your photos! Nothing beats a happy new foal check!

We’re recruiting . . . Equine Veterinary Surgeon

*UPDATE* Position filled. Thank you for your applications 😊

Scott Mitchell Veterinary Care are seeking an additional equine vet to come and join our team of 5 equine vets plus support staff, which currently includes 3 certificate holders and 1 RVN.

Established in 2001, we’re a proudly independent equine and small animal practice serving predominantly Northumberland and County Durham. Our equine team are based at our recently refurbished headquarters in Hexham, where our clinic facilities include stabling that’s staffed 24hours, stocks, treatment room, trotting and lunging areas, knockdown and theatre facilities - all in a historic market town that’s frequently voted Rightmove’s Happiest Place to Live in the UK.

We offer a comprehensive first opinion equine service, as well as seeing an increasing referral caseload for our neighbouring mixed practices, all serving a horse population that is a truly mixed bag: everything from pet ponies and donkeys to racing and sports horses (including horses regularly competing internationally). To achieve this our vets have access to all the kit you’d expect including multiple setups of digital radiography, ultrasound scanners, powerfloats, and endoscopes; as well as visiting specialists when required. We’re regularly found on duty at races and shows, and providing consulting and lecturing services too.

Vets have the freedom to create their own blend of ambulatory and clinic work and can follow their own cases with help whenever they need it. Our CPD budget is unlimited, and we value both hard and soft skills. There’s the opportunity to get involved with the XLVets community as well as our in-house company: CPD Actif; where we combine training with skiing and sailing adventures overseas!

Our ideal candidate could be either a new or recent graduate seeking to work full time as an equine vet with support from colleagues; or an experienced vet considering part-time working. We’d hope any candidate would take a share in our out of hours rota (no more than 1 in 5). Most importantly though, we want someone to join our team who cares as much as we do for our clients, their animals, each other, and our community.

Please apply with your CV and covering email to our Practice Manager, Anne Grieve ([email protected]); or phone or WhatsApp Steph Cook (07934 856262) or Euan Laidlaw (07542 847164) for a friendly and confidential chat.

Strangles Awareness Week is over for another year! By posting, sharing, liking, attending events and asking questions we are helping to spread the word, not the disease.

As cases of Strangles continue to affect horses and owners all over the country, giving horses the BEST protection is more important than ever. SAW26 may be drawing to a close, but the threat of infectious disease sadly isn’t. By working together, we really can turn the tide on Strangles.

Because every horse can get Strangles, and every person can make a difference.

09/05/2026

Did you know that Strangles can survive on clothing, equipment or the sole of a boot?

Today, SAW shares some simple steps that can help stop unwelcome bacteria hitching a ride with very welcome yard visitors!
