Clinic Overview

The Cotswold Equine Clinic is presented in structured clinic data as offering emergency veterinary services, but the latest owner feedback available to us focuses almost entirely on equine physiotherapy-style visits delivered by Chloe (including hands-on assessment, treatment, and rehab exercises). Reviews repeatedly describe thorough full-body assessments, detailed explanations of findings, and aftercare plans (home exercises and written reports). Owners also mention specific modalities used in sessions, including massage, Indiba, and SLEIP gait analysis, with examples ranging from post-fall soreness to longer-term stiffness and rehab.

People

  • Chloe (role described by reviewers as an equine physio)
  • Frequently mentioned for doing a thorough assessment before treatment and explaining what she’s finding in detail during the session.
  • Multiple owners describe practical aftercare, including exercises to follow between visits and, in one case, a detailed written report after treatment.
  • Handling and trust-building is specifically noted in one case where a pony that “never really allowed other therapists touch her” reportedly settled quickly and tolerated treatment.

Reviews

Google rating: 5 stars from 7 reviews.

  • Detailed assessment and explanation: owners repeatedly describe Chloe checking horses thoroughly and explaining findings in a way that “made sense,” including one case where prior X-rays and treatments hadn’t identified the root issue.
  • Rehab focus and aftercare: several reviews mention being given exercises/advice to continue between visits; one mentions receiving a full, in-depth report post-treatment.
  • Specific modalities mentioned: massage, Indiba, and SLEIP gait analysis are explicitly named as part of the approach.
  • Examples of outcomes owners report: improved comfort/strength in a stiff retired showjumper; progress within a week for a complex pony; reduced soreness after a fall while lunging.
  • Note on the review set: some of the written reviews available to us appear duplicated (the same text posted by the same author more than once).
