A new mobile equine veterinary practice has started in Norfolk and Suffolk. 

The Beccles Equine Veterinary Services aims to bring care for "your horses to your doorstep". 

A number of the services it provides include routine check-ups, vaccinations, and emergency care. 

The business has three partners, Dr Victor Franco-Guerrero, Dr Sophie Rendell, and Annabel Morton.

Dr Franco-Guerrero has been a vet in the Beccles area for the last 17 years. 

He said the inspiration for the business was "to provide a service that is needed in the area".

"We used to all work in a nearby practice but we wanted to do things differently," he added.

Dr Rendell said: "We will be providing a more comprehensive ambulatory service."

Dr Franco-Guerrero added that Beccles Equine Veterinary Services will focus on a "personalised service" and will be looking to get another vet onboard in the future. 

The area they cover includes East Norfolk and North Suffolk, from "Norwich to Great Yarmouth, South to Southwold, West to Eye and North to Norwich again".

The area is split into four zones, with zone one and three available to book any day of the week, zone two is available to book on Tuesdays, and zone four is on Wednesdays.  

Dr Franco-Guerrero said the response has been positive. 

He said: "We have had a lot interest just from one post.

"Everyone has been saying positive things which is pleasing.

"We are very happy."

Miss Morton, practice manager and receptionist, said: "We are very excited and enthusiastic".

"We are looking forward to getting properly started," she added.

The normal working hours are Monday to Friday 8.30am to 5pm but out of hours are available.
