Linkswood Equine Vets Ltd – Vets in Halstead

Updated January 2026
Independent Clinic

Clinic Overview

Linkswood Equine Vets Ltd is presented in reviews as a vet team used heavily for horse care, with one recent review also describing an urgent, same-day appointment for a cat. Owners mention being talked through options (including in a difficult end-of-life situation), and one client says the team sent a condolence card afterwards. A “plan” is also mentioned, with one owner saying they signed up after their urgent visit.

Concrete details owners describe include

  • Being seen “straight away” when an animal needed help urgently.
  • Home/yard visits from named vets (Emma and Kita are both mentioned for recent visits).
  • Decision discussions: one owner says “all options” were explored for an older mare before concluding there was nothing more that could be done.
  • Follow-up gesture after a loss: a card sent to the owner.

Services

Based on the latest written reviews available to us, owners specifically reference

  • Equine veterinary care (multiple owners refer to “horse” care and “equine care needs”).
  • Visits from vets to see horses (Emma and Kita are named as visiting).
  • Support with complex/serious cases and end-of-life decision-making for an older mare (“exploring all options… supported me until the end”).
  • A same-day urgent appointment for a cat (“see her straight away”).
  • A “plan” (one owner says they signed up after an urgent visit; what it includes isn’t described in the reviews provided).

People

  • Emma (vet; role not explicitly stated): mentioned for “care and advice” for a horse; another owner describes her as “knowledgeable, reassuring and thorough” during visits.
