Veterinary Treatment :: Nixon Equine Vets
Nixon Equine Vets (now Buckingham Equine Vets) is dedicated to providing the best quality equine veterinary care, first opinion diagnosis, treatment and referral service for all equines. We do not treat any other species. All treatment is given following accurate, informed (not presumptive) diagnosis by an experienced equine veterinary surgeon, backed up by state-of-the-art diagnostic facilities, not guesswork done by inexperienced para professionals.
Veterinary treatment at equine clinic or client stable
All treatment is given following accurate, informed (not presumptive) diagnosis by an experienced equine veterinary surgeon, backed up by state-of-the-art diagnostic facilities, not guesswork done by inexperienced para professionals. All treatment is followed through to complete recovery including return to competition. Follow-up management programmes are tailored to client and patient requirements and carried out by equine vets who have been there and done it themselves.
Treatment can be provided either at our modern equine clinic at Maids Moreton near Buckingham, or at client’s stables within a 30 mile radius of the equine clinic, within Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Oxfordshire and Northamptonshire. The equine clinic provides facilities for both in and out-patient cases. For information about available treatments please use the treatment menu links above or in the sidebar left.

Complementary equine treatment and therapy referrals
We co-operate closely with other complementary equine disciplines and arrange referral appointments both at the clinic and at client stables for services such as remedial farriery by “world class” farrier Billy Crouthers. We therefore treat the underlying cause and not just presenting signs. Other complementary remedial treatments include:
- Farriery
- Dentistry
- Saddle fit
- Correct riding / training
