Torch Equine Vets remains one of the south-west’s leading vet-owned, independent practices.

Our dedicated equine vets are based across the region, making it easy for us to cover large parts of Devon, Somerset and Cornwall. Much of our equipment is mobile but should circumstances dictate that further investigative work or surgery is necessary, our equine veterinary practice at Mullacott, Ilfracombe is staffed around the clock for 24 hour emergencies. Equine in-patients are never left unattended overnight.

Our fully equipped equine operating theatre and recovery box allows us to complete a range of surgical procedures.  We have vets with post graduate qualifications in surgery with years of experience supported by a team of dedicated veterinary nurses.

Examples of our on-site services include:

  • Colics

  • Trauma surgery

  • Retained testicles

  • Septic joint management

  • Arthroscopic surgery

  • Lameness and poor performance examinations

The Torch equine department covers a large area. However, we don’t measure our success by the size of the area we cover but rather by the quality of the care we deliver. We always ensure that we are able to attend emergencies with the minimum of delay

Accidents don’t always occur at the most convenient times. Rest assured, we are always here to help.
